That is their party\u2019s decision. So if they can convince their members, that\u2019s good for them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But they don\u2019t have the numbers, we the minority members are more.

By the way, will all members of the APC even support the party\u2019s decision?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Those of us in NASS want to support a speaker who is our own, a speaker who will defend democracy, someone who will protect the interests of members and help us deliver the dividends of democracy.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Similarly, Inuwa Garba, the member-elect representing Yamaltu\/Deba Federal Constituency in Gombe State, dismissed the argument advanced by some that the North East cannot produce both the Vice President and the Speaker at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Garba, who is of the PDP, said<em>;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>History is there for us to see. This is not the first time that will be happening. In 1979-1983 the Speaker of the House of Representatives was from Anambra State, and the Vice President also was from Anambra State.
