Revealed! Kwara Federal Lawmakers To Get Juicy Committee Appointments

Following the exit of former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki from the influential position of number three citizen in Nigeria, some kwarans are wondering if the federal lawmakers from Kwara state will attract tangible projects or get juicy committee appointments at the 9th National Assembly.

Investigations by our correspondent revealed the three senators and six House of Representatives members from the state of harmony would get important committee roles.

The Senator representing Kwara South, Arch. Oyelola Ashiru while speaking at a Reception organized by his friends disclosed that Kwara Senators already negotiated good deal before supporting Ahmad Lawan for the position of Senate President.

Senator Oyelola Ashiru said APC national leadership appreciates the role kwarans play by voting out Bukola Saraki.

”We are part and parcel of the election which produced Ahmad Lawan as the senate president. Before we joined the campaign we bargain for kwara and they promised that kwara will never be left out. This 9th senate will be the best in the history of the country.” He added.

Apart from that, the three Kwara Senators are successful professional in their field and their experience will be handy at highest committee level.

For records, Senator Ibrahim Oloriegbe of Kwara Central is a successful Medical Doctor with special interest in Public Health. Oloriegbe has worked with different international development partners on issues relating to health sector. While Pharmacist Umar Sadiq is the representative of Kwara South.

Senator Oyelola Ashiru is a successful architect with flourishing real estate business to his credit. A close ally of the Offa born Senator revealed that he (Ashiru) had worked with federal government and even National Assembly, therefore his experience will be needed in Committee such as lands, housing, works and others.

Although, Kwara state representatives at lower chamber are first timer except Hon Raheem Olawuyi (Ajulo opin) that spent six months in 8th National Assembly but they have secured good deal by supporting Hon Femi Gbajabiamila for Speakership.

Recall that Hon Raheem Olawuyi representing Irepodun/Isin/Ekiti/Oke-ero Federal Constituency served as the North Central Coordinator for Gbajabiamila/Wase campaign organization and his close relationship with political heavyweights in Lagos will help him get good placement for other members from Kwara state.
