Muazu’s aide to contest Reps by-election By Godwin Egbara Special Correspondent, Bauchi Following the Supreme Court’s verdict empowering the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct a bye-election into the House of Representatives’ Bauchi Federal Constituency, the Special Adviser to Governor Yakubu Muazu on Political and Assembly Matters, Alhaji Isa Matori, has expressed his desire to confront his elder brother, Alhaji Abdullahi Matori of ANPP for the same post. Speaking with reporters to unfold his plan, Isa noted that should ANPP present his elder brother for the post, he was ready to confront him at the poll. He explained that the contest would not in any way affect their relationship. According to him, what will determine their success at the poll is not their family tie but the electorate at their constituency. He pointed out that if any of them wins, it is to the glory of the family. Matori criticised the former representative for not adequately representing his area. The aspirant explained that there were projects earlier earmarked by the Federal Government but due to inadequate representation, the projects have not come to fruition. If elected, Matori said he would work in collaboration with other lawmakers to ensure that the projects come to realisation. Specifically, Matori cited the cottage hospital at Toro and Bauchi which are yet to see the light of the day. He attributed this to lack of experience on the  part of the former representative in providing the dividends of democracy to the people. Speaking further, Isa described the change of leadership at the House of Assembly as part of the dynamic of politics. He noted that it was the first time in the history of the state that a Speaker was impeached, adding that there was nothing unusual about the change. He described as untrue the insinuation that the House of Assembly was a mere rubber stamp institution, an extension of the executive arm of government. Matori explained that the positive changes experienced in the state were as a result of cordial relationship between the legislators and executive. As far as he is concerned, the House is composed of active and vibrant members who are alive to their responsibilities.       Copyright� 2002.
