pdp r so smart in electing luke d speaker. luke though of pdp is from the same local govt of the apc guber candidate umana umana, at a point they thought he(luke) was supporting umana cos of the brotherly status.
what this mean is that only one person will stand between umana the apc candidate n onofiok luke the new speaker.
if umana wins luke must step down or be impeach cos speaker n govr cant come from the same place, n onofiok is highly ambitious. I dont see him trading that seat for anything less.
onofiok the new acting govr, congrats!
pdp..... power!
