It is part of being used and I didn\u2019t like that. Most of us are reformers and one of the ways to reform the system is to make it more accountable and to make the people have a voice in who represents them as opposed to a few people sitting in the four corners of a wall and writing results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"amp-wp-7d27179\" data-amp-original-style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThere is a process; when we come back from recess, as I said, the House will look at those amendments. We will sit as the National Assembly, look at the reasons and at that point, consider removing that clause and pass the bill so that we do not throw away the baby with the bathwater.<\/p>\n<p class=\"amp-wp-7d27179\" data-amp-original-style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBut then, it is not my decision to make. It is the decision of the National Assembly; if they determine that the reasons are not good enough, then, there is a process prescribed by the constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-amp-original-style=\"text-align: justify;\">The projects unveiled by the Speaker included the Obele mini stadium, Dosunmu Road, Adedoyin Road, Ojikutu, Ishola Road by Randle, Rasaq Balogun mini stadium and the Razaq Balogun Road and Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, all in Surulere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Femi Gbajabiamila, the speaker of the House of Representatives has disclosed that the National Assembly will revisit the Electoral Act Amendment Bill and remove the direct primary clause in it after it resumes from recess.
