Mr Wole Oke, a five-term member of the House of Representatives representing Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency of Osun State, is one of those involved in the minority leadership crisis in the chamber. He tellsabout his role in the issue, lawmakers’ remuneration and the security crisis in the country

Considering that the PDP claimed to have written to the Speaker to nominate Chinda but he went ahead to read the letter by minority members nominating Elumelu, do you think Gbajabiamila was fair by that action? Sometimes when you misinform people, people misbehave. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know how the party concluded that it should suspend me and other members.

Nothing is going on, we are still together. Those are things to expect and you never can say, we are human beings. It is still some years ahead. They might review the situation in future and change their mind; you never can say. But that is their position anyway, and I am not their attorney and wouldn’t speak for them. Dr Deji Adeleke is one of our revered leaders. I have a very wonderful relationship with him. He may have his reasons for coming to that conclusion.

That is Mr President’s opinion and he is entitled to his opinion. From what I have read, he thinks that some people have taken undue advantage of the current security situation in the country to galvanise and advance their political position. But I am not inclined to agree because I don’t see what will politically advance Obasanjo, who had been Head of State during the military era and President from 1999 to 2007.

But should the National Assembly be amending and making more laws when the existing ones have not been fully implemented?Many Nigerians strongly believe that there is impunity in the land, that there is injustice, that the criminal justice system is not efficient enough and justice is not dispensed as and when due. Are they not right?
