Those
Plotting To Impose A Speaker Will Fail - Dogara.
Speaker
of House of Representatives, Honourable Yakubu Dogara, has warned that the
leadership of the ninth National Assembly should be allowed to emerge from
elected parliamentarians.
Dogara
said a leadership that is forced will fail. He noted that a situation where
“leadership is forced and literally driven down the throat of elected members
had never endured in the National Assembly.”
The
Speaker spoke in Abuja at the ongoing induction of Senators-elect and House of
Representatives members-elect of the ninth National Assembly.
He
advised Senators-elect and House of Representatives members-elect to look out
for those who have thrown themselves into the race to see who will aggregate
their aspirations better.
The
least legislators could afford in the National Assembly, he said, is crisis on
account of the leadership.
Insisting
that “I hope we will learn from history”, Dogara noted that leadership imposed
on the National Assembly has never worked.
Dogara
said, “Well, I guess that it is not a subject matter you may want just to offer
an advice on because we are all parliamentarians, those that have been elected,
we will be here for four years to serve the people. Leadership is always
something that emerges from people.
“Some
of us that have been a bit old in the field, we know how that is done. My
advice is that we stay calm to understand the people going in for these
positions of leadership in the National Assembly.
“At
the end of the day we are praying that we have those leaders who will be able
to sustain what we have done in the Eight Assembly or even surpass what we have
done. We don’t want leadership that will take us back.
“We
have made a lot of mileage and we hope that we will be able to get the kind of
leadership that will build on the achievements of this Assembly which is
unparalleled in our legislative history.
“I
will advise members to actually look out for those who have thrown themselves
into the race to see who is it that will aggregate their aspirations better and
then will be able to surpass the record of this Assembly."
