Some members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) from Jahun Local Government Area, on Tuesday, staged a protest at the Jigawa State House of Assembly over the nomination of Idris Garba as the new speaker for the assembly.
The protesters barricaded the entrance to the complex, demanding the speakership be given to another person, not Mr Garba, who was the speaker of the last assembly.
The state leadership of the APC on Sunday reportedly zoned the speakership position to Jigawa South-west senatorial district and specifically nominated Mr Garba from Jahun Local Government to continue as the speaker.
