The Speaker of the Niger state House of Assembly, Abdulmalik Sarkindaji, has faulted the stand of the Minister of Women Affairs,The speaker, who spoke to newsmen in his office at the state House of Assembly on Tuesday, May 14, said that the minister’s approach of handling the issue was very wrong.
“I am a typical Hausa man. What is out of order in what I have done, why is this issue being over flogged. I have pledged to take care of orphans and that is what I am doing. If the federal government through the Ministry of Women Affairs wants to extend their helping hands, let them do so, they are welcome.
It would be recalled that on Monday, the Minister of Women Affairs disclosed that she has approached the court of law to stop the speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly, Abdulmalik Sarkin-Daji from marrying 100 girls off to prospective suitors. The speaker then said that he will no longer attend the event but whatever support that have been given to the girls remains and he will not collect it back.
