I will not resign - Deputy Speaker
(Nigeria) Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Yusuf
Lasun, Monday, said he will not resign his position no matter the pressure
individuals or groups would put on him.
Lasun made this known in Abuja while receiving members of
Ilobu Development Union, Osun State.
He said that his emergence as Deputy Speaker followed a
transparently conducted election, which he won.
He stressed that those who were suggesting his resignation
to resolve any leadership tussle in the House only wanted to reap where they
did not sow.
Lasun claimed that Ilobu remained one of the strongest All
Progressives Congress, APC holds in the country, explaining that his emergence
as Deputy Speaker was nature's way of rewarding loyalty to the party by his
constituents.
Earlier, the Vice Chairman of the group, Alhaji Olayinka
Ahmed, had said that the visit was to express their support and solidarity in
the wake of pressure from certain quarters on him to resign.
"We are here to give you our maximum support as
indigenes of Ilobu. We do not support any call for your resignation; we know
you as one of the pillars of the Action Group in those days.
"Coming from our place, we see your emergence as
Deputy Speaker as a good thing that God has done for us, and we can't let it
slip away.
"God has elevated you, and we are proud of it. You also
know that you have many things to re-touch in the community," Ahmed told
the deputy speaker.
