That will not happen in the next Assembly.”
The lawmaker who does not want to be mentioned said surprisingly, even members of the opposition, including the very minority parties like LP, NNPP, amongst others are eyeing not just membership but leadership of Committees which are reserved for the ruling party – APC.
