Speakership: Group drums support for Famurewa

A socio-political group, the Ijesas in Diaspora, has drummed support for Hon. Ajibola Famurewa as the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Chairman, Board of Trustees of the group, Bobaseye Akinyemi Fasakin, in a statement, said Famurewa, who represents Ijesha South federal constituency, deserves to be the next Speaker because of his achievements and valuable contributions on the floor of the parliament in the last four years.

While calling on the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other lawmakers in the House of Representatives to support Famurewa’s ambition, Fasakin maintained that if Famurewa becomes the Speaker, his leadership would impact positively in the implementation of government policies and programs.

Fasakin said: “We are not being sentimental on this cause; we are not supporting Famurewa because he is from Ijesa. We are supporting him to be the next peaker of the House of Representatives, because we believe that he merits and deserves it. Famurewa is one of the lawmakers with the highest number of sponsored bills and motions in the 7th Assembly of the House of Representatives, while his contributions on the floor of the House are highly valuable and impressive.”
