Reps Minority Leader: Ohanaeze youths warn PDP
It could be re-called that the House was thrown into a rowdy session after the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila announced Ndudi Elumelu as Minority Leader. Elumelu from Delta State was named alongside Toby Okechukwu as Deputy Minority Leader, Gideon Gwani as Minority Whip and Adesegun Adekoya as Deputy MinorityWhip.
The party’s spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a reaction to the development, said “The PDP, in the strongest terms,, parliamentary practices and procedures as well as the convention and we urge the Speaker to respect the rules and read the list submitted to him by the leadership of the PDP.” He said the Ohanaeze “is amazed that the same PDP, which didn’t value party discipline, when the leadership of the National Assembly was elected, was now crying wolf where there is none.
Okwu, who is also the leader of the Greater Awgu Peoples Movement, said the group would not fold their arms and watch the party push out one of their sons, Rt. Hon. Toby Okechukwu away from a well deserved position.
