Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Labour Party\u2019s House of Representatives member-elect for the Aba South\/Aba North federal constituency of Abia, Emeka Nnamani, said the South-East will take a decision on the Speakership issue.<\/p>\n

Addressing reporters in Abuja on Sunday, the politician said that despite being elected on different platforms, incoming lawmakers from the region will provide block votes.<\/p>\n

Nnamani said people think the 10th National Assembly is going to be \u201cchaotic and dramatic,\u201d but that will not happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe legislature is not going to be a rubber stamp; it will not lose its independence. The 10th Assembly is going to be quite interesting and intriguing,\u201d NAN quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n

The Abia representative noted that the mixture of people from multiple political parties would result in serious legislative business.<\/p>\n

Nnamani said for the first time, the South-East would change the narrative by speaking with one voice on the political leadership of the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

He, however, endorsed the candidature of Tajudeen Abbas (APC, Kaduna) and Ben Kalu (APC, Abia) as the next Speaker and Deputy Speaker, respectively.<\/p>\n

Last Monday, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) announced Tajudeen and Kalu as the preferred candidates for the House of Representatives leadership positions.<\/p>\n
