NASS leadership: Don’t go against Buhari ,APC; Emir tells kwara-north lawmakers–elect

Lawmakers-elect under the platform of All Progressive Congress (APC), into the national assembly from kwara-north have been admonished to toe the line of the party in electing leaders of the 9th legislature.  

This is just as president Muhammadu Buhari has been urged to consider the area for ministerial appointment to compensate the people for their support and love demonstrated to him during the 2019 presidential election.

Speaking at a summit organised for legislators –elect by kwara north APC youth movement held in Ilorin, Sunday, a frontline Emir in Baruteen local government area of kwara state who is the emir of Yashikra, Alhaji Usman Umar Sabikpasi 11, said unless the people be on the same page with the government at the federal and state levels, the development which they have been yearning for would continue to elude them.

Represented by a former senator and Wazrin Yashikra, Ahmed Mohammed, the monarch warned that the new law makers -elect from the state must avert a repeat of the experience of the 8th assembly where the prrs4dency and the national assembly worked at cross purposes.

He said, ‘‘toe the line of the party when it comes to electing leadership of the national assembly. I want all of you at the national assembly to go with the party and cooperate with President Muhamadu Buhari. That is the only way kwara north will be able to benefit effectively. If you cooperate with Mr President and the governor at the state level, Kwara north will continue to progress.”

Also speaking, senator -elect for kwara north senatorial district, Pharmacist  Umar Sadiq, called for equity in sharing of political position in the state.

He said in line with the application of the principles of equity, the position of speakership should be automatically ceded to kwara north in addition to the position of the Secretary to the government of Kwara state, (SSG) even as he added that president Buhari should also appoint a minster from the zone.
