Why I ended my Reps speakership ambition – APC lawmaker
Mrs Bukar-Abba is returning to the House for the fourth time as the representative of Damaturu, Tarmuwa, Gujba, Gulani Federal Constituency. She said her constituents have been urging her to run for the position.
She made her position known while speaking with journalists at a news briefing in Kaduna on Saturday. She said she accepted the decision of the party despite believing that she has all it takes to hold the position.“We had a dinner with the president and the Chairman of APC pronounced where the party is heading too. So, we as obedient party followers had decided to go with the party.”“My party, the APC, has advocated that they wanted Ahmed Lawan from Yobe State to contest the Senate President position and also Femi Gbajabiamila from Lagos to contest the speakership position.
“All we want to see is our country to unite and progress. So PDP is welcome to negotiate with APC to form a parliament that will see that the country moves forward,” he said.“Women find it difficult to get funding to sponsor their campaigns against men. But I think since we tried the men and they failed us, it is about time to believe in the capability of women.
