Constituents of Wase Federal Constituency in Plateau State are demanding rotational zoning for the 2027 elections, citing two decades of representation by Hon. Idris Ahmad Wase. The agitation was voiced during a peaceful protest in Wase town, organised by the Wase Progressives For Equity, Unity and Inclusive Governance. Participants came from all four districts — Wase, Lamba, Bashar and Kadarko — and carried placards reading "20-years-is-Enough" and "Let's leadership rotate".
A communique issued by the group and read by Comrade Gunshin Yarlings, Secretary of the Concerned Forum, stated that the House of Representatives seat has been held continuously by Ahmed Idris Maje from Bashar District for over 20 years. While acknowledging his service, the group argued that prolonged occupation of the seat by one district undermines fairness and inclusive governance. They urged that the seat be zoned to any of the three other districts in the constituency.
The group said rotational representation would promote unity, broaden political participation, and reduce friction within the constituency. They believe it would also unlock leadership potential across all districts and support grassroots development. The communique was presented to Alhaji Yusuf Shagari, Chairman of the APC's Wase Local Government chapter. He confirmed receipt and said the demands would be forwarded to relevant party stakeholders.
