One of the leading aspirants for the speaker’s seat in the 10th House of Representatives, Aliyu Muktar Betara, has called on the members-elect to keep faith with Nigerians as President Muhammadu Buhari prepares to hand over to the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Betara, who gave the charge through a statement issued by his Media Office, applauded the members-elect for their resolve to serve their respective Constituents in the next democratic dispensation.
He thanked them for their overwhelming support so far on his aspiration.
The statement read in part, “We must all be resolute in our quest not only as Parliamentarians, but as a united people to do all within our capacity to defend the democratic Institution of the National Assembly.
“The Honourable Muktar Betara Campaign Organisation wishes to refute in very strong terms the ill-motivated, sponsored, bile intentioned and untruth publication which sought to create disaffection across the nation.
“We will not be deterred by unidentified distracters from pursuing our course to a logical conclusion. Hon Betara has not and will not veer off this course.
“It needs be clearly stated that his joining the 10th Assembly Speakership race is not fuelled by personal ambition; therefore, it lacks any iota of desperation that will inform working at variance with normal expectations of his political party.”
