Youths from across the 23 local government areas of Benue State yesterday staged a peaceful protest to the state secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Makurdi, demanding the House of Representatives Speaker to be zoned to Northcentral.
The youths argued that it would amount to injustice and inequality, if the APC national leadership failed to zone the Speaker position to the zone.
