A member of the House of Representatives, Anayo Nwonu has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, will not have it’s way in it’s bid to impose a new leadership on the National Assembly.
The lawmaker who represents Ezza South/Ishielu Constituency in the green chamber said the ravings of the National Chairman of the APC will amount to nothing in the long run.
He stated this in Abakaliki, the state capital after visiting teaching Alex Ekwueme Federal Teaching Hospital where he paid the hospital bills of some of his constituents to enable them be discharged on time to rejoin their families for the Easter celebration
The lawmaker, who was elected for a second term under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, said his party will have a say in who replaces, Senate President, Sen Bukola Saraki and Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara.
The APC which has majority in both Chambers of the legislature have endorsed Sen Ahmed Lawan to succeed Saraki and Femi Gbajabiamilla to succeed Dogara.
But Nwonu said the lawmakers elected under the platform of the opposition PDP will not allow the APC impose any candidate on the National Assembly.
He said:“Right now, you cannot conclude what will happen in the national assembly until the day og inauguration. I want you to forget about party issues and propanganda by the All Progressives Congress(APC), and what the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is saying”
