As life of the current assembly of the House of Representatives (9th) gradually winds down, and preparation already in top gear for the inauguration of the next parliament, JOSHUA EGBODO writes on the number games between various camps in the race for the speakership.
The initial contest for speakership of the 10th House of Representatives, to many, was a seeming open contest, fuelled more by the considered no plan of interference by the All Progressives Congress (APC). But after a good number of members-elect, not less than 10 made their intentions known to run for the speakership, the APC through its National Working Committee (NWC) announced its endorsed candidates.
