Pressure Mounts Against Nigeria's House-Speaker

As Nigerians marked their 47th October First anniversary Independence Day, pressure has been mounting for President Umaru Yar’Adua to have parliament follow his lead in fighting corruption. The latest case involves Speaker of the House of Representatives, Patricia Etteh. With the lower house of the National Assembly in recess, legislators are lining up colleagues to replace the country’s first woman speaker, who has been indicted by a House panel in a contract scam.
