10th NASS to create constitutional roles for traditional rulers — Speaker

The Speaker of House of the Representatives, Tajudeen Abbass, said on Saturday in Zaria, Kaduna State, that the 10th National Assembly would create a constitutional role for traditional rulers in the country.

The Speaker stated this when he paid homage to the Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmed Bamali.

Abbas who was welcomed to the palace with a colourful durbar said the majority of members of the current House Representatives understood the importance of the traditional institution in the country.

He noted that members would do the needful to ensure a role was created for the traditional rulers in the constitution.

The Speaker said, “I am aware that about three years ago, there was a paper by the Traditional Rulers Council across the six geo-political zones where they clearly stated how they want the traditional institutions to function in this present dispensation. We thank God that today your son is the Speaker of the House of Representatives and in the position to revisit the position of the traditional rulers.
