'I Will Not Resign' - Deputy Speaker

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives in Nigeria, Honourable Yusuf Lasun, has insisted that he will not be forced to resign as the Deputy Speaker of the House.
Addressing members of the Abuja chapter of the Ilobu Development Association on Monday, Honourable Lasun said that the pressure being mounted on him to resign would amount to nothing because he was duly elected for the position.

The Deputy Speaker, however, said that if he succumbed to the pressure, it would amount to cheating members of his constituency, who elected him during the National Assembly election on March, 28.
Honourable Lasun stressed that those suggesting his resignation as a way of resolving the leadership tussle in the House only wanted to reap where they did not sow.
He claimed that Ilobu remained one of the strongest APC holds in the country, explaining that his emergence as the Deputy Speaker was nature’s way of rewarding loyalty to the party by his constituents.

The fireball was launched into the air, and wailed angrily as it travelled towards its doomed destination. A trail of fiery light fell away behind it, and the light from the ball and its trail illuminated the land beneath them. The yellow light caught faces looking up at the ball in morbid fear. There was a gasp that travelled through the land and crossed the hardly distinct divide between ally and foe. The Fireball was a sight to behold, but its lifespan was agonizingly short. It wailed even louder as the force that binds, took hold of it and began reeling it faster and faster back down to earth. There were screams of terror among the ranks.
