The All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus of the House Representatives has named Idris Wase, a member from Plateau State, as the new deputy house leader.
The lawmaker replaces the late Umar Jibrin and was sworn in on Wednesday.
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, Wase, who represents Wase federal constituency, was the chairman of the committee on federal character.
