The race on who becomes the next Speaker of the House of Representatives is on top gear. Over 10 returning Lawmakers have shown interest to taking over from Rt Hon Femi Gbajabiamila. As expected, the choice of who becomes the next Speaker have made the elected lawmakers pitched a lot of interest against each other.
Certainly, a lot of factors may determine who picks the number four seat in the country. The President-elect, Senator Bola Tinubu hails from the South West and the Vice President-elect, Kassim Shetimma from the North East, it is imperative that Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives hail from geopolitical zones of North West, North Central, South South and South East for equity and fairness.
Among the elected lawmakers that have indicated interest in Speaker’s position are Yusuf Gadgi, Ahmed Wase, Tunji Olawuyi, Tajudeen Abass, Sanni Jaji, Aliyu Betara, Sada Soli, Benjamin Kalu, Ado Doguwa, Abubakar Yallerman.
In the Upper Chamber, some Senators from the North West are agitating for the Senate Presidency while lawmakers from the North Central are also clamouring for the Speakership but with the Tinubu and Shettima presidency, the agitation of the people of North West might be a futile exercise.
There are expectations that the APC might pick the Senate President from either the South East or South South region. If that permutation is right, then the North West stands a better chance to producing the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.
One man, however, stands out among the contenders for the Speakership, he is Dr Aminu Sanni Jaji, the lawmaker representing Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency from Zamfara State. He has proven his mettle as a man to watch out for in. A charismatic politician with clear vision for inclusiveness and building a united assembly for the betterment of the nation.
