The media of the immediate past Deputy Speaker and aspirant for the Speaker of House representatives, Ahmed Idris Wase said he is still in the race for the Speakership of the 10th National Assembly and has not withdrawn for anyone.
It said the rumour lacks basis and has no iota of truth in it as the Deputy Speaker is not only in the race but remains the most favoured by his colleagues to win the seat.
A statement signed by Reverend Dominic Alancha,
Secretary further stated that Wase is not considering withdrawing or stepping down for anyone as he did not enter into to the race for mere showmanship but to win with the hope of bringing his wealth of experience to bear in running the affairs of the parliament.
The statement added that this is with the firm belief that after serving as Deputy Minority Leader, Deputy Leader and Deputy Speaker consecutively, he is in the best position to stir the affairs of the House in the 10th Assembly more efficiently than any of the aspirants contesting the seat.
