10th NASS: Tinubu can’t afford power-drunk politician as Speaker, group says
Speaking further, the group stressed the need for the lawmakers to elect competent and loyal party member as Speaker.
He said, “The House is an institution with 360 members; members should be allowed to elect one of them. Most especially, Mr. President needs a strong party man capable of overseeing the House. Mr. President cannot afford to have a stooge of a power-drunk politician who is desperate to control the house for their interests.
“In April, some individuals purportedly selected Tajudeen Abass from Kaduna State as the party’s choice for the Speakership of the House of Representatives. Some lawmakers-elect kicked against the selection, claiming they were not consulted before the decision was reached and thereby forming a greater majority group of other candidates.
“However, we are throwing our weight behind Aminu Jaji, a loyal ally of President Tinubu, as the front-running candidate. He has resolutely stood on his mandate to compete for the Speaker of the House of Representatives office, not dropping out of the race by stepping down for anyone.”All rights reserved.
