A group, the Progressive Minds for Good Governance in the North West, has called on members of the National Assembly to elect Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji as their speaker for purposeful leadership.
Addressing a press conference in Kaduna, Ademola Abdulwaheed, the coordinator of the group, said Hon. Jaji aside being a ranking member, is a committed party man who the president can rely on.
He said the member had demonstrated leadership qualities and quality representation of his constituency and mastery of the green chamber which would make him effective as speaker.
The coordinator noted that consensus is not democratic, stressing that the legislators should be allowed to choose their leaders on merit without imposition of any kind.
He said; “We are calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to encourage the legislators to choose their leaders based on merit and quality, and we are sure if they are allowed to do so, Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji will certainly be the man for the job.
“He has impacted immensely on his people in various sectors and that is why they have continued to elect him to represent them in the green chamber.
“He is a ranking member who has demonstrated quality of leadership and we are calling on his colleagues to support him. We believe in his ability to deliver.”
Also speaking, Comrade Abdulrahman Adeniyi Abdulhamid said the need to uphold the best ethical practices by members and other stakeholder would be the priority of Hon. Jaji if elected speaker.
“He will enhance the Integrity of the parliament and strive to provide adequate working logistics for members and the support staff, so he is the man that will bring around total turnaround of the green chamber,” he said.
