The lawmaker representing Saki West, Saki East and Atisbo federal constituency who is aspiring to become the speaker of the ninth House of Representatives, Hon Jide Olatunbosun has revealed reasons why he wants to contest the position despite the fact that his party has picked Hon Femi Gbajabiamila.
Jide said that his action did not constitute an anti-party activity because he is still operating within the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The PUNCH reports that Olatunbosun stated this while addressing journalists in Abuja.
He said, “I don’t know of any other aspirant but I can confirm to you that the operatives of the EFCC are not after me and nobody has invited me for any form of interrogation.
“We could disagree to agree on a number of issues but the reforms that our leadership would introduce, especially in the areas of budgeting, security, human rights and people’s welfare will encourage the executive to work with us.”
The Ago-Amodu born lawmaker who was elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress also added that he is not under pressure to drop his ambition.
