Report from national assembly elections in Abuja suggests
that lawmakers-elect under the platform of the All
Progressives Congress, ACP, are to sign an undertaking
pledging to abide by the party’s choice of candidates for the
leadership of the 8th national assembly.
The party had been facing internal crisis owing to the choice
of the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
According to source in the APC hierarchy, the party would
conduct an internal election for its lawmakers on Saturday.
“The aim of the election is to present sole candidates for the
position of senate president and speaker of the house of
representatives”, a source told TheCable.
“The party is trying to avoid a situation in which its
lawmakers will be divided next Tuesday when the national
assembly election will take place.
“The party does not want the lawmakers to undermine its
supremacy. What we want do is to avoid crisis. We know
there will be hiccups, but we will get through them”, the
source added.
The APC leadership is currently meeting with its house of
representatives members-elect at the International
Conference Centre (ICC) in Abuja.
The meeting is replete with occasional shouts of “no, no”.
A consensus candidate for speaker of the house is expected
to emerge after the meeting.

How United State Speaker is Selected


The House of Representatives elects the Speaker of the House on the first day of every new Congress and in the event of the death or resignation of an incumbent Speaker. The Clerk of the House of Representatives requests nominations: there are normally two, one from each major party (each party having previously met to decide on its nominee). The Clerk then calls the roll of the Representatives-elect, each Representative-elect indicating the surname of the candidate he or she is supporting. Representatives-elect are not restricted to voting for one of the nominated candidates and may vote for any person, even for someone who is not a member (or member-elect) of the House at all. They may also abstain by voting "present". [3]
