The lawmaker representing Isuikwuato-Umunneochi Federal Constituency in Abia State, Amobi Ogah, has called on fellow colleagues in the House of Representatives to support the consensus candidate of All Progressives Congress, Tajudeen Abass, as Speaker ahead of the 10th Assembly inauguration.
The Labour Party member-elect, who drummed up support for Abbas while addressing journalists in Abuja, on Tuesday, urged Nigerian politicians to learn to look beyond money politics to choose a competent leader.
His endorsement comes hours after Abbas promised Nigerians that he would not run a rubber-stamp parliament if he emerged Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Abbas, who represents Zaria Federal Constituency of Kaduna State, North-West zone, was announced on Monday as the ‘anointed’ candidate of both the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the ruling APC, for the position of Speaker in the 10th Assembly.
