The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ahmed Wase, says he possesses all the qualities to be the speaker of the 10th Assembly.

Wase stated this when declared his intention to run for the office of the speaker in Abuja on Friday.

He also maintained that it is his turn to lead the House of Representatives and to be the number four citizen of the country.

The lawmaker said he had made huge sacrifices in the house in the past, adding that he is experienced and competent to be the speaker.

“I was deputy to Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila as Minority Leader and in 2015 I had more than 75 per cent endowment to be a leader. But I was asked to step down and I obliged.

“In 2019, I felt I should go for speaker but again the party leaders said I should step down for Femi Gbajabiamila and I obliged even though I had the endorsement to go through and we then ran a t campaign.

“These are part of the sacrifices I have made and in the words of my leader, President-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu, I say, ’emilokan’- it is my turn,” he said.

Wase said when he is elected speaker, he will focus on general orientation and image rebranding of the National Assembly.

The aspirant said he would ensure a true people’s parliament by creating an efficient and innovative parliament that would approach nation-building as a t task irrespective of any differences.

The lawmaker promised a strong and independent parliament, with law and order as well as strong legislative oversight.

According to the aspirant, security, fiscal discipline, economic prosperity and social welfare schemes and programmes will be prioritised if elected.

NC is not a joke to this people

Na ur turn... If dem no gree, grab it, snatch it and run away with it... .. you won't be the first...

Suegbe

Anybody fit declare anything wey dem want like Asiwaju , but because sey person declare something nor mean sey e go happen cos grace dey different .

Like one person wey talk sey him nor go ever comot for APGA but he don defect two more times ,when such person declare sey “he must” do something,just go sleep cos failure dey such person body .

Interesting times ahead

Kudos to Wase for declaring his interest and using the code word “Emi Lokan”.

However just like in the holy book, faith without work is useless. Before Jagaban can boldly say “Emi Lokan”, it was because of his almost 30 years of hardwork, building people up, expanding his network, singlehandedly ing president, nominating VPs, his boys dominating the speakership and NA and etc.

Personally, I think APC is unfair to other contestants by openly saying Akpabio and Tajudeen is their consensus candidate, I would rather all of them fight it out and test their strength. I understand APC are being careful too because of their simple majority which might lead to other party taking over the house if they had contested against each other without reaching consensus.

The coming NASS election will be the most non-partisanship in out history because from what I’ve seen, it seems even PDP/LP/NNPP have their factions and they are ing different candidates. Let’s see how it goes.

Okay political interest

Go get it.

The partition of Nigeria. The country has been shared already

Failed country

Imagine this gambari. Maybe it's his father's inheritance and that's why he made the statements. Every politician can't even emulate good virtue again. No wonder, they are all competing to loot as much as they can.

Nothing concern me concern nigeria politics again i dey retire with Atiku

All these infighting and desperate power tussle are just for their egocentric ambition

May the best candidate win

The understudy makes a boss move in a play of theatrical proportions.

Iwo lokan lati lule

Trashy Journalism.
I searched everywhere in the report to know which place and state and geopolitical zone he represents. But couldn't see it

Okay

Very valid claim.

In a homogenous society, he is by right the next in line to become party leader in the house, and by extension, the Speaker if his party is in the majority.

But I still think it should be zoned to the NorthWest and Kaduna especially.

When the president elect Asiwaju Bola Tinubu first used the word "enilokan", many lowlife individuals including Bitter Obi were everywhere crying why should he used such word. Unknown to them it's an acclamation of something great to oneself. I say to myself, Emini ire kan.

No going back
Tinubu will hear am

Carry on as far as you are not ndimkpurummiri

Ok. It is allowed.

APC dey play

Emilokan trending like kilonshele.
