He said: “After wide consultations with my colleagues, friends, family, party and stakeholders and in total submission to the will of God, today I formally declare my intention to seek the position of the office of the Speaker of the 9th Assembly and offer my service to the nation in this capacity. “I seek the office of the Speaker to bring our tendencies together and unite us a country. I seek the office of the Speaker to bring governance even closer to the people. I seek the office of the speaker to mentor the next generation. I seek the office of the Speaker so I can use the bully pulpit to galvanize honourable members to make life more abundant for every Nigerian irrespective of tribe, religious background or political persuasion.
He said: “The candidacy of Femi is not about him himself but about sanitanizing our democracy. It is about practising what we preach, global best practices. We make reference to the united States, United Kingdom. While is it that we are very bad in practices? We are guilty of what happened in 2011 and 2015. But that does not mean we can’t correct it.
“We will continue to work hard. Consult and continue to reach out and we call on everyone to all come and join hands. On his own, Hon. Jerry Alagbosa advised the aspirant to consult widely amongst the lawmakers for their support, urging him to make commitment for the south east and south south zones.
