The House of Representatives has gotten a new Deputy Majority Leader.
The All Progressives Congress
(APC) caucus of the green chamber named Idris Wase, a member from
Plateau State, as the new deputy
house leader.
Mr. Wase replaces the late
Umar Jibrin whose replacement
as a lawmaker was sworn in on
Wednesday.
Mr. Jibrin died in April after a
protracted illness.
The notice of the new
appointment was contained in
an announcement signed by the
House Leader, Femi
Gbajabiamila.
The APC in 2015 zoned the
position to the North-Central.
Until his appointment as deputy
house leader, Mr. Wase, who
represents Wase federal
constituency, was the chairman
of the committee on federal
character.
