 The all-progressive Congress, APC's consensus candidate for the House of Representatives Speaker and Deputy Speaker Tajuddin Abbas and Honourable Benjamin Kalu have been unveiled to members-elect. The unveiling took place at a meeting of the House joint tax in Abuja. Speaking at the ceremony, the speakership candidate Tajuddin Abbas said his nomination is based on competence. Abbas appealed for patience, noting that by next week there will be an official declaration where his 16-point agenda will be unveiled. I feel elated, I feel inspired because I believe if the party is going to use competence as a statistic, I am the right person to actually be picked. So the fact that they did what I expect them to do, I feel very elated, I feel very satisfied. We are in the process. We have reached out to so many, I will continue reaching out to all of them. Before the end of next week, I assure you all the candidates, all the contestants will reach out to them, we will beg them, we will ask them to come on board so that we can work for the good of the instrument. Also speaking on his nomination, Benjamin Kalu, the party had taken an inclusive step by choosing him. The party has started the strategy for the 2027 election by making sure that they have a foot in the south eastern region. What they have done with this nomination is in the spirit of inclusion. The south east is going to feel the power of cohesion and national loyalty is going to be driven by virtue of this that has taken place. It was a wise decision to include the southeasterners in the structure of government that is being formed. As you know, it is the responsibility of a ruling party to set up the architecture of government in order to achieve the set national objectives. And I'm sure by making sure that everybody embraces that national objective, will help them achieve it faster and this architecture that is being displayed now is all inclusive architecture and my people in the south east are delighted that they've been considered and that would change the dynamics come 2027.
