The electorate has endorsed Benjamin Kalu, the All Progressives Congress’s nominee for deputy speaker of the House of Representatives in the tenth national assembly.
While Tajudeen Abbas, the newly elected Speaker, faced competition from two other candidates, Kalu won the position of Deputy Speaker of the House without opposition.
The Clerk to the National Assembly, Sani Tambuwal, swore in Kalu as Deputy Speaker right away after confirming that there were no further nominations for the post.
