TORI reported that residents in Jigawa state have on Tuesday staged a protest against an alleged plan by the party chieftains to impose the former speaker Idrith Garba Kareka as speaker of the 8th Assembly in the state.

The protest informed the members of the need for internal cohesion to prevail in their quest for new leadership.

They advised the members-elect to resist any temptation, intimidation, and coercion by external forces to undermine the process.
