Hon. Muktar Betara Campaign Committee has refuted in strong terms the ill motivated, sponsored, bile intentioned and untruth allusion that the Speakership aspiration is been driven by a group of people
According to the campaign committee “the ill motivated and sponsored article which made it into the front pages of some national newspapers was shocking and disturbing, and obviously has one objective, which is to pitch this collective aspiration, the person of Honourable Betara and his teeming supporters against our political party, All progressives Congress APC, our leaders, our constituents and our broad based spectrum of well wishers among the entire returning and newly elected Members and indeed those outside”
“It must be clearly reiterated that Honourable Betara has an untainted, blemish free and enviable record of political party loyalty, which made him step down for Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila in 2019 and wholesomely backed him to win and run a harmonious 9th assembly House of Representatives till date,
Honourable Aliyu Muktar Betara has not and will not veer off this course”
The committee stated that his joining the 10th assembly Speakership race now is not fuelled by personal ambition, therefore lacks any iota of desperation that will inform working at variance with normal expectations of his political party.
The council reiterated that Honourable Betara’s commitment to his party, the All Progressives Congress, that he joined hands with many party faithful to work hard to build leading to the victory for the President Elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and all other posts as contested for on the platform of the party.
“The Speakership race is a national one, that will naturally attract interests of many compatriots across all divides and inclination, definitely not excluding the Honourable Members Elect from other parties who also will have a say according to the fine details and principles of democracy”
“His Speakership aspiration recognises all these realities without compromising the expectations of his political party”
The campaign committee explained that the ultimate purpose and vision of Hon.Muktar Betara is to ensure that the 10th assembly House of Representatives will be one united, indivisible assembly that will work harmoniously with all arms of Government, particularly the Federal Government led by His Excellency, the President- Elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to enable us meet the huge expectations of our countrymen and women.
The 10th assembly House of Representatives insha Allah under Honourable Aliyu Muktar Betara, will promote a legislative dispensation that will accommodate all opinions in the larger interest of all Nigerians, in our journey to a stronger, more prosperous, indivisible, and united nation starting from the parliament.
