A former
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Gali Na’Abba, on Tuesday said
he had been searching for job since he left the House in 2003.
Na’Abba, a
member of the Peoples Democratic Party, represented the Kano Municipal Federal
Constituency of Kano State from 1999 to 2003 during the former President
Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration.
He spoke
during a national stakeholders’ summit on gender-based violence affecting young
people in Nigeria, organised by the Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin-led Women Arise for
Change Initiative.
The former
federal lawmaker, who was the chairman of the occasion, said since he left
office, he had considered various jobs but had not been able to settle down to
one up until now.
He said with
the revelation made at the event, he had decided to henceforth take up the job
of a Master of Ceremony because of its lucrative nature.
He said, “In
the last 11 years since I left the House of Representatives, I have been trying
to find what to do.
“I have
looked and considered various things to do professionally, I still have not
come out with something.
“But today, I
have learnt how lucrative it is to be an MC. Without trying to take the market
share away from people like Adesuwa, let me say that I have now found something
to do.
“From today,
I want to become an MC. May be the next time the host is organising programme,
my name will feature as the MC.”
His comment
was based on the host’s earlier remarks.
Okei-Odumakin
had while delivering his welcome address, thanked a popular broadcaster,
Adesuwa Onyenekwe, for offering to serve as the event’s MC free.
She had said
the public appreciation was necessary because the minimum the broadcaster
charges per outing was N1m.
