” Honourable Aliyu Muktar Betara has not and will not veer off this course. It needs to be clearly stated that his joining the 10th Assembly Speakership race now is not fuelled by personal ambition, therefore lacks any iota of desperation that will inform working at variance with the normal expectations of his political party.
