Akande-Sadipe eyes deputy speaker position
Oyo lawmaker Tolulope Akande-Sadipe has declared her intention to vie for Deputy Speaker of the 10th Assembly should APC zone the position to the South-West.
Mrs Akande-Sadipe announced her intention to her colleagues on Wednesday in Abuja. She reiterated her readiness to focus on the work at hand and to move the assembly forward as a united one.
“I come before you my esteemed colleagues to ask for your support as I vie for the role of deputy speaker of the 10th Assembly,” she said.
The lawmaker expressed confidence in her ability to carry out the responsibilities of the role of deputy speaker and promised to work tirelessly towards achieving the goals and objectives of the assembly.
She also expressed confidence to deliver on the responsibilities of the deputy speaker and serve her constituency with distinction if her party zoned the position to the South-West.
“I pray you will assess me based on my vision, and my values, which are “Accountability and Professionalism” and support me on this journey,” she appealed.
