According to the lawmakers-elect, there are chances that he can contest for the position of speaker.

He said: “We are taking everything into consideration while speaking to the leadership of the House and the South-East caucus.

“This is moving sand. No positions have been taken. We do not get to elect the speaker until June 13.

“While the Constitution does not recognise ranking members but the House Standing Rules does, we will consult to know what our issues are.

“We are going to embark on a mission of national integration. Diversity should not be our weak point but our strength and we must harness it.”

The Abia legislator promised to come up with bills and motions that would be security-centered, adding that the security of lives and property was paramount.
