The chances of the member representing Bende federal constituency, Benjamin Kalu, of clinching the office of the deputy speaker of the house of representatives in the 10th assembly seems to be getting brighter and brighter as four other strong contenders for the position have reportedly stepped down for him.
Some of the members in the race include: Julius Ihonvbere who is the chairman committee of basic education, Waive Francis, deputy chairman, power, Ononuga, chairman, women affairs committee and Abiola Makinde, deputy chairman, Federal Character Commission.
In their separate speeches, the quartert pledged their loyalty to the All Progressives Congress while maintaining that the choice of Benjamin Kalu as deputy speaker was well deserved since such a position requires competence which he, Kalu had often demonstrated in the green chamber.
“He has done the job of the spokesperson of the house well and therefore knows its needs and will be great in helping pilot the affairs further for the institution.”
