A group- PL-25: Twenty-five APC Progressive Leaders, has endorsed Ahmed Wase, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, as its preferred candidate for 10th Speaker of the House.
Mr Lekan Ogunleke, the Secretary of the group said this when he spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.
Ogunleke said that Nigeria needed a team player like Wase as the 10th Speaker of the House to build on the achievements of Femi Gbajabiamila, the outgoing speaker.
He added that the next speaker must have the ability to carry all lawmakers along in spite of political divide.
