Hon. Ayo Omidiran is the lawmaker representing Ayedaade/Irewole/Isokan Federal Constituency of Osun state in the House of Representatives. In this interview, the sports administrator turned lawmaker speaks on happenings in the House, chiefly, the appointment of chairmen of standing committees. In her characteristically frank manner she also spoke about why she wasn’t appointed as chairperson or deputy despite being the one of the two ranking female lawmakers of the ruling All Peoples Congress (APC). Omidiran equally shared her opinion on national issues such as the call for a reduction in the minimum wage by governors and President Muhammadu Buhari’s performance in his seven months in office.

Would you say that peace has finally returned to the House after the rancor which followed the announcement of the names of chairpersons and deputies of committees?
The House is peaceful and we are carrying on with work. Most of the times, what people tag as problems are not problems in the real sense. We are here to express ourselves and to make laws for the good governance of the country and if there are matters that we feel strongly about, we are allowed speak about it. We made our position known that we did not like it (the composition of chairmen and deputies of committees). We still don’t like it, but we just have to carry on with our primary assignment which is to make laws and to effectively carry out our oversight functions.
The South-West was quite vocal in complaining about not having enough chairpersons, especially for the juicy committees. But some said, the lawmakers from that region overreached themselves by insisting on getting the office of Deputy Speaker and Majority Leader, yet still expecting to get good committees to head.
What is your opinion?
Having principal officers and committee headship are not related, at all. Ideally, every committee should be headed by a competent hand, an individual that has adequate knowledge of the MDAs he/she will be carrying oversight on. Normally, reference is placed on ranking and membership of the ruling party. It is the ruling party that looks for people within its ranks that have this core competence, I have talked about to appoint them as chairpersons. Then, if there are people in the opposition that are competent with experience, you can appoint them as deputy to the chairman from the ruling party. That’s what we met here and I am an example in this regard. In the 7th Assembly, although I was a first-timer and member of the opposition, I was made the Deputy-Chairperson of the Sports Committee. I was deputy to a PDP man from Kaduna state even when he didn’t have a background in sports administration and we worked. So, what we were saying is that, why did the Speaker change everything overnight? It looked vindictive. The (treatment of ) South-West, you are talking about is vindictive in nature. This is because the fact that we have the Deputy Speaker and the Majority Leader does not matter when it comes to committee headship in anyway. After all, we are not the only zone that has two representatives in leadership of the House of Representatives. It is only the South-East and North-Central that have one representative a piece. Now, take a look at the other zones that have two representatives in the leadership to see at what is on ground. It is only when people want to be mischievous that they begin to give this kind of explanation that the South West has two people in the leadership of the House. The leadership of the House is one, it’s only in the process of putting them (principal officers) together, to differentiate which party is ruling and the minority, that we state the parties they belong to. Well, we have accepted what happened as one of those things. We understand that it’s all the fallout of the election into the office of Speaker. But we spoke out for Nigerians to understand what happened.
Some have said you are one of those that lost out for not supporting the eventual winner of the race for the office of Speaker. These observers say that the Sports Committee would have been yours for the asking if you had been in the right camp…..
Or maybe if I had lobbied for it? Somebody actually asked if I lobbied for the committee and I said, ‘no’. I don’t feel anything for not getting the Sports Committee. But by virtue of my position as the only ranking woman of the ruling party from the South-West, also going by precedence, I am supposed to chair a good committee.
So, it is not just about my heading the Sports Committee. I can chair any good committee. But because of the fractionalisation of the ruling party and I being a staunch and very strong loyalist of the party, some people felt that I should not be made a chairperson or even deputy. And because I didn’t lobby, I don’t feel bad about it. I had to join others to analyse the situation and I tell them to see me as an example, if it’s not about being vindictive, why would new members, some of them women, be given committees to chair and I, nothing?
I can talk about it to you as a journalist because what happened is quite clear for anyone to analyse. A lot of people have come to me to say, ‘I know why you were not appointed as chairman of a committee’ and this makes me happy because it means people understand and I won’t be accused of making up excuses for not being appointed.
Aside from not getting good committees, one thing APC reps complained about is that the PDP chairmen will not be able to assist in bringing about the promised change, especially with regard to transparency. Is this something the public should be worried about?
Don’t forget that a committee is not only about the chairman and the deputy. Besides, all the committees have a mix of the APC, PDP and other parties. I believe that committee members are at alert and we are all doing our work how we are supposed to. And as much as possible, if we find any chairman wanting, the rest of the members of the committee will speak out. I am sure the Speaker will also be on the lookout so that our and his job especially is not messed up owing to ineptitude or mischief of any chairman.
You are from Osun state where workers are owed salaries for months. Where do you stand as- per the suggestion from governors that the minimum wage be reduced in order that some states can pay at when due?
I have not heard my governor complain or infer that he may want to reduce the minimum wage. But I think that he may go with the flow or whatever they (governors) decide as a collective. Ultimately, if it does become an issue to be decided on, I think whatever is decided will be the outcome of negotiations between the governors and the labour unions. It is not good to just be owing salaries, whereas, you will still pay. And if you can afford to pay something less monthly, for me, this is fine. What I have found out is that, the salary is not the problem but the allowances. People just think ‘ah why can’t they pay just N18,000?’. But you know, there are other things attached to the salaries of workers. I think the governors should come out to explain to the public that nobody is getting only N18,000 a month, they need to make people understand the issues. Also, I think that there is something wrong about fixing wages- to say that everybody must pay this minimum. If you check the cost of living in the states, it varies. What it will cost a middle class family in Lagos to run the home in one month might be what another family will use for two months in the State of Osun.
President Muhammadu Buhari has been heavily criticised for his pace, it took him about seven months to announce his cabinet list. Some have said he should concentrate on the economy even as he fights corruption, while others have asked that he should cut down on travelling.
What is your assessment of the president’s performance?
I think the president has been able to conduct himself in such a way as to remain believable and this is very important because Nigerians voted for him in trust. They voted him believing he will be able to do all the things he promised us. He didn’t give a timeline for the promises. He was from the outside, coming in and judging by the depth of the rot on ground, he has done very well. So far, the ship of state has been straightened and he has started a cause that we believe will bring the desired change. I believe that by the time we will be celebrating his second year in office, they won’t the need to ask this kind of question. By that time, we would all have seen and felt the change which I know will be positive.
What is your advice to the new Sports minister considering that Nigerians really want things to change with regard to how our sports is run?
My advice would be that he strictly concentrates on the grass root development of sports. He should invest in all sports. He should not have a favourite sport. Even if he has one, it should be personal to him. In considering how sports should be administered, he should not pick and choose which sport to concentrate on and abandon the others. lawmaker speaks on happenings in the House, chiefly, the appointment of chairmen of standing committees.
