Some House of Representatives members-elect have commenced zonal mobilization for the speakership bid of the chairman, House Committee on Appropriations, Muktar Betara.
One of the lawmakers, Haruna Dabo, in a statement, said the new members, which kicked off the mobilization from Enugu State, on Tuesday, intend to go round the six geo-political zones to mobilize support for Betara.
Dabo noted that the new members, who are from the various political parties, including the All Progressives Congress ( APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), New Nigerian Peoples Party ( NNPP) amongst others, have resolved to support the Appropriations Committee chairman to lead the 10th assembly.
According to him, “We are New Members-elect from different political parties and irrespective of our party affiliations, we have resolved to support Muktar Betara Aliyu.
“In furtherance of his campaign, Hon. Betara who doubles as Chairman, House Committee on Appropriations, has proved to the world that he is capable of leading the over 300 lawmakers.
“As you know, we do not want a bully as a leader in the 10th House of Representatives, that is why he is our anointed candidate and we chose to begin awareness from Enugu.”
Dabo added that “the idea is to create more awareness on the man they believe will lead them to pilot the affairs of the Green Chamber in the next democratic dispensation, hence the need for others to join the moving train.”
