Elumelu’s choice as Minority Leader can’t stand – Bayelsa Rep

The member representing Sagbama/Ekeremor Federal Constituency in the House of Representative, Fred Agbedi , has described the nomination of Ndudi Elumelu as Minority House Leader in the 9th National Assembly as an “imposition by the APC caucus.’’

According to him, the House had followed due process in their choice of Kingsley Chinda, Federal Constituency as its Minority Leader and would reject anything short of that agreement. Mr Agbedi claimed that the minority parties had followed due process and adopted Mr Chinda representing Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency and would not accept Ndudi Elumelu representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency as announced by the Speaker of the House.

“As far as I’m concerned, Mr Speaker and his APC caucus are trying to impose leadership on the minority which will not happen.“PDP, as a majority in the minority have done the needful as requested by law on the choice of Chinda for the position of a Minority Leader, such should be respected in the interest of peace,’’ he said.
