National Assembly
The Coalition of South Eastern Young Leaders Association, CSYLA, has urged that now that the All Progressives Congress, APC, has a majority in the 10th National Assembly, the Speaker of the House of Representatives should be zoned to the South East.
The CSYLA’s leader, Okechukwu Kalu, spoke out on Friday, encouraging the ruling party to consider the region while zoning the various leadership seats in the National Assembly.
If the Southeast does not obtain the position for Senate President, the group believes it should be considered for Speaker of the House.
The group also recommended Rep. Benjamin Kalu, as the House spokesperson best fit for the role.
It came to this conclusion after a mid-week meeting of stakeholders in the South East.
“We are of the firm belief that the leadership of the House of Representatives would be better under Rep. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, who is the current spokesperson of the House of Representatives.
“Our position is hinged on our confidence that he will build on the landmark achievements of Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila and Rep. Wase, who brought great innovations on better ways of getting things done in the legislature,” the group stated on Friday.
