The Spokesman of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) and member-elect for Ideato North/South federal constituency of Imo State, Ikenga
The CUPP spokesman also stated that allegations that the House Rules were tampered with were not true, stating that the House Rules were last printed in December 2020 and not after the 2023 elections, hence by the extant Rules, the election of the presiding officers of the House will be by open ballot system.
Ugochinyere said, “It is on this note that I call on my fellow colleague members-elect who are still in the race to stop and join the prefect of the class, Hon Tajudeen Abbas, to steer the ship of the 10th Assembly to beat the records of the other Houses in performance and achievement for Nigeria. Our common goal now should be beyond party and partisan politics and totally focused on Nigeria and her greater good.
“I do not speak for myself alone. I speak for the 63 likeminded Honourable members-elect of the opposition family who have agreed on a common vision for the 10th Assembly. We will transform to the TBK Group. Our 63 votes without any dissent or abstention will go for Hon. Tajudeen Abbas. In the coming days, Nigerians will come to know the identity of the TBK Group and will also feel our impact.”
In his closing remarks, another member-elect to represent Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency under the platform of Labour Party, Hon. Amobi Ogah, said, “For the first time, we are trying to make history. I’m supporting Abass and Kalu not because APC picked them. Abass and Kalu have the capacity and competence. The tenth Assembly will be a unique one if the duo emerge as Speaker, Deputy. I beg my colleagues to support the duo in the interest of National unity.
