Revered Francis E. Waive, the All Progressives Congress, APC House of Representative Member-elect for Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu Federal Constituency, has called on members-elect in the 9th National Assembly to support and vote for Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila and Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase as Speaker and Deputy Speaker respectively come June 7th, 2019.

Waive who is the Vice Chairman – South of the All Progressives Congress House of Representative members-elect made the call in a statement on Thursday.

He urged all House of representatives members-elect to look out for competence and character while making the choice of the leadership of the House.

The pastor turned politician noted that what should be the “major consideration in choosing the leadership of the House in the 9th National Assembly should be competency, experience and broadmindedness, rather than religious or ethnic consideration.

According to him, “I think we should chose our leaders based on their competency, character and experience if we must get it right in the 9th National Assembly, rather than reducing the race to religious or ethnic one, at the National Assembly, we should be thinking of what bound us together as Nigeria, and not what divides us as a Nation.

“Gbajabiamila and Wase cumulatively have over 20 years experience in the House of Rep, they are competent and they have being a stabilising factor in the House of Rep, so supporting them will give the the 9th National Assembly a strong footing in this present political dispensation.”
