Abstract
Portrait of Hon. Agunwa Anakwe (Speaker, House of Representative 1993).
Description
Chief Agunwa Anaekwe was the speaker of the House of Representatives between 1992 and 1993, during the aborted Third Republic. This was just before the June 12 presidential election was annulled. He managed the affairs of the House through the Interim National Government of Chief Ernest Shonekan before the Late Gen Sani Abacha terminated the life of that republic in November 1993. After that Chief Anaekwe from Anambra state went out of political reckoning for a long time until a few years ago when it was reported that he was said to have joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
