A group of members-elect under the banner of the Minority Parties Forum has adopted Tajudeen Abass and Benjamin Kalu as Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the 10th House of Representatives.
The legislators-elect numbering 67 made their position known at the end of a meeting in Abuja.
The forum urged other members-elect to join in the election of Tajudeen Abass and Benjamin Kalu.
The forum’s meeting coincided with the gathering of a splinter group of the Minority caucus which resolved it would no longer contest the Speakership seat of the next Assembly.
