The newly elected member representing Birnin Magaji/ Kaura Namoda Federal constituency in Zamfara state and Speakership Aspirant, Hon Aminu Sani Jaji has advised the Speaker of the 10th National Assembly should be someone who’ll always like the best for Nigerians.
“I think I’m the best candidate for Speaker House of Representatives for many reasons. For some people if not by right they don’t have any reason to say they want to become the Speaker. But by right, they can say they want to be but otherwise, they lacked the necessary qualification to be the presiding officer. I have the exposure to pilot the affairs of the House of Representatives.
According to Jaji, he noted that being a presiding officer goes beyond just lawmaking, there are so many things involved.
He disclosed, “At times when a crisis erupts between the executives the only people that can get it right and fix it is the National Assembly because they are representing 360 constituencies. “
“If somebody that does not have that experience, that exposure, that concerns for the people emerges he will not be able to handle such crisis.
He noted that for him, “I have chaired policy committee at the House of Representatives, I have been opportune to be chairman of House Committee on National Security and intelligence where we try to do our best, which prepares me for this job.
He also said he was able to chair some critical investigations which if not for the wisdom we applied in addressing them the integrity of not only the National Assembly but the image of the country will be at stake. My intention was to ensure robust legislation that would give dividends of democracy as the National Assembly is the symbol of democracy. “
Speaking on the allegation that some APC top notchers in his state (Zamfara) did anti-party in favour of the PDP that won the governorship election in the State, Jaji dismissed the allegation and ascribed the political development in the state to the will of Almighty Allah.
