NASS leadership: Group roots for Rep Soli as Speaker

Good Governance and Transparency Initiative (GGTI), a pressure group is rooting for Hon. Sada Soli’s emergence as Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 10th National Assembly.

National Coordinator of GGTI, Abdulmumuni Dangana, who made this known in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja said apart from his wealth of experience in the legislature, Hon. Jibia is endowed with leadership qualities that stand him out for the position.

Dangana expressed satisfaction with the performance of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections saying the outcome of the poll showed that Nigerians have kept faith with the APC in the Presidency and the National Assembly.

“The party’s victory at the last poll is well-earned because the democracy dividends delivered, especially in the provision of infrastructure and social intervention schemes is unmatched,” he said, pointing out that:  “These achievements are the result of the collaboration and support given the executive branch by the leadership and members of the National Assembly, majority of who are of the APC.”

 Dangana said with the country set to commence another democratic journey into the 10th National Assembly it becomes imperative to call on the national leadership of the APC to zone the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives to the North West zone.

  “If it does that, it should kindly throw its weight behind Hon. Sada Soli, the current Chairman House Committee on Water Resources to become the next Speaker.

“As a ranking member of the House with several bills to his credit, Hon. Soli knows the game very well and his vast experience in continental legislation coupled with his membership of various standing committees makes him eminently qualified to lead the Green Chamber in the 10th National Assembly”, Dangana said.
