House of Representatives member-elect for the Akoko North-East/North-West Federal Constituency in Ondo State, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, is also the Chairman of the First-Time Members, Forum of the Ninth National Assembly. He speaks withled to the formation of the Forum of First-Time Members-Elect and what is your population?
Politics in Nigeria has always been played based on the North and South considerations. Geopolitical zones like the North-Central, North-East and the North-West are part of the northern region while the South-East, South-West and the South-South are part of the southern Nigeria. There are two key presiding officers’ positions in the National Assembly. The first is the Chairman of the National Assembly, who is also the President of the Senate. That position has been zoned to the North.
Many Nigerians argue that micro-zoning the presiding officers positions to individuals is nothing but imposition. How do you view this? I cannot speak for our National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. But the question I will ask those saying that is, has Asiwaju come out in any medium to declare his presidential ambition? Let the time come.
Some Nigerians are saying that you are probably scared that many of those that the party coerced to support Gbajabiamila would vote against the party’s choice, hence your insistence on open ballot. How true is this? We will win by the grace of God, regardless of the voting method adopted. We know that the National Assembly management is sensitive to the yearnings of the majority. I want to believe that the management, led by the Clerk, will not do anything that will jeopardise the interest of Nigerians because they deserve to know and should be informed about the position of their representatives on all issues in the House, starting with the election.
