PT: You are in the race for the Speaker, where is the inspiration coming from?My inspiration is drawn from the fact that I have offered myself to give a sound legislative service to the nation, starting with the 10th Assembly, as I have stated in my seven-point agenda. I am confident that my colleagues have reposed a lot of confidence in me and I have proven my competence and credibility by my engagement and interaction with other members.
PT: Is this confidence backed by actual politics in the House? We now have several groups in the House, “Joint Task, Greater Majority and others. Are you backed by any of the groups?Politics is a game of intrigues, it keeps evolving. Every day it comes with different shades. I tell you that we are all fishing from the same waters, most of the people who were at the Joint Task briefing were in my secretariat before going and when they finished they also came back.
PT: Away from politics, let’s talk about programs and plans. What will a Miriam Onuoha-led House look like in 100 days?Well, the first thing first will be to reposition the House with a reorientation of the real task of nation-building and the task of the legislature. A lot is being said and rumoured about the House of Representatives and what its roles and duties are really about.
