Integrity Group, in the House of Representatives, at the weekend threatened to pick the next speaker from the South eastern part of the country if leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South West insist that Mrs Patricia Etteh remains the Speaker.

One of the arrowheads of the group, Hon Halims Agoda, decried the position of the PDP leaders from the South West that they would not present any other lawmaker as speaker despite the indictment of Etteh by a panel to probe her involvement in the award of contracts to renovate her official residence.

He said: “I am amazed at the position of the South-West leadership, particularly the group of governors, party leaders and indeed, some traditional rulers that Etteh is the only candidate they have for the position in spite of this glaring indictment by the probe panel set up by Etteh, herself.
“It is almost insulting to the other parts of the country for the South-West leadership to maintain that Etteh is merely being persecuted.

“If the South-West leadership, in spite of this damning panel report, insists that Etteh is still their only candidate, some of us, on the floor of the House, will ensure that we produce the next Speaker from the South-East zone of the country because, to us, morally, Etteh can no longer preside as speaker of that House.”

the question is,why wasn't the Speaker from the South East in the first place.

all those opinion leaders that are supporting
this kind of thing should cover their face in shame!
HABBA! DEM CATCH THEIF KOROKORO, YOU SAY NA  IM BE THE ONLY PERSON
YOU GET TO REPRESENT  THE WHOLE SOUTH WEST? HA! I FEAR UNA O
nigeria is bigger than etteh and the stupid old men that support a corrupt woman like that!

THIS IS A TRAP SET BY OBJ AND CO. TO RIDDICLE YARADUA.

the truth is that after failing in his third term bid decided to get it back by all means.
he is a self made chairman BOT of pdp and by that he is in charge of the party because the bot practically is the decission making body and they have what it takes to remove anyone they consider unloyal to them and the party.
etteh is party of the criminal minded cartel whose intention is to get power by all means and keep it as long as possible.
the only way forward for pdp and nigeria as a whole is to let obj off the rulling body.
as an else president, the most honourable thing would have been for him to seat back and watch others do their own things as he had done his and allow history to place him on the record as the best president onigeria has ever seen.
i wonder why many nigerians are yet to accept the fact that the man is evil. a man who wanted tenure elongation against the constitution. a man that changed the pdp constitution to make him the only nigerian qualified to be the chairman pdp bot. a man who practically selected almost all the political positions in a country as big as nigeria. a man who in the broad day light have decided to shed confirmed criminals like, andy uba, chris uba, adedibu, tony annenih and bode george among others and the most current robber on board-Etteh. a man who conducted the most corrupt election in the history of nigeria. what more can a man do to his people to be called an evil man.
etteh is his product and efcc is his roduct so all we have to do is to watch two lovely children of such a wonderful man fight outside their house.
if there is anything viewers would want to see, it is the end of the well written and interpreted drama called obj and pdp.

nna the fear of obj is the beggining of wisdom
