10th NASS leadership: Delta rep declares for dep speaker

The member representing Ughelli North, Ughelli South, Udu Federal Constituency of Delta State, Hon. Francis Waive, has declared to run for the office of deputy speaker in the 10th National Assembly.

In a statement yesterday, Waive who is of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said his aspiration, aside overriding competence and capacity to deliver, would be driven by equity and fairness.

He said, “I believe the 10th Assembly deserves a leadership sensitive to the needs of members and serves all without any discrimination. I believe in the equality of members, in equal opportunities both on the floor and in committee.

“I offer to serve you as deputy speaker (if zoned to the South South), that I will be easily accessible, help our esteemed first timers quickly find their footing, and carry everyone along during our tenure.

“Those who know me personally in the current 9th assembly have described me as calm, cool and collected. My antecedent has always been that of service to humanity.

“As our induction and inauguration ceremonies draw near, I am available to interact with you (colleagues) personally and privately at your convenience.”
