Honorable member representing Wase Federal Constituency (Plateau State) receives endorsement from Elite group 

The Equity and Justice Forum has thrown its weight behind the bid by the Honorable member representing Wase Federal Constituency, Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase to become the speaker of the House of Representatives.

The Convener of the Forum, Femi Davies,  who made this known in a press conference in Lagos said in the spirit of equity, fairness and Justice, the group is supporting Hon Idris Wase to lead the House of Representatives in the next dispensation.

According  to the statement,  the North Central zone of the country deserves to be given a sense of belonging being the region that has never enjoyed such position and also that Wase has the experience and leadership qualities to preside over the affairs of the House.

Davies described Wase as a genuine patriot and committed party member who has contributed immensely to the success of the All Progressives Congress, APC, led administration at the national level and in Plateau State.

“We support the clamour for the speakership of the House of Representatives to be zoned to the North Central; but not only that, we support the bid by Hon. Wase to become the speaker given his rich legislative experience having been in the House since 2007, his wit and wisdom and achievements as an astute administrator.

“We have no doubt that having given a good account of himself in all the tasks assigned to him in the past from being the executive secretary of the Muslim Pilgrims’ Welfare Board to when he became a federal lawmaker and became the chairman of the Federal Character Committee till now, that he is the deputy leader of the House; that Honourable Wase will serve to give the House proper guidance and sense of direction,” Davies stated.

He said the stabilizing role he played during the trying times of the National has earned him respect and admiration amongst his peers resulting in his being appointed as a principal officer of the House.

"Wase,  deserves to play a key role in the next APC- led administration giving the his maturity, loyalty and tested commitment, for the unity and stability of House of Representatives" Davies stated.

The forum said Wase's passion for fairness and justice will promote mutual understanding and cooperation between the Executive and Legislative arm of government. 

The Convener called on well meaning Legislators other states in the country to support Wase in his quest to offer what he described as quality service to the nation by providing a competent and vibrant personality for the speakership of the House of Representatives.

I will always preach the message of fairness for all.
As long as the move is not politically motivated to suit a few it is a good move.

Congratulations to him
