Yusuf Gagdi, a former Deputy Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, has declared his intention to run for Speaker of the 10th House of Representatives.
The announcement was made at the unveiling of his manifesto and a compilation of his accomplishments in the 9th National Assembly in Abuja, according to reports.
Gagdi has pledged to lead a transparent House of Representatives and is actively seeking the support of elected lawmakers from other parts of the country, including other political parties.
The 42-year-old lawmaker from Plateau State’s Panskhin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency believes he has what it takes to lead the 10th House of Representatives.

The declaration comes ahead of the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly in June, and several elected federal lawmakers, as well as Gagdi’s friends and relatives, were present to support his ambition. Gagdi sponsored six private member bills in the 9th National Assembly, which President Muhammadu Buhari signed into law.
Gagdi has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President-elect Bola Tinubu to allow lawmakers to choose their leaders. He is determined to achieve his goal and is actively courting elected lawmakers from other political parties.
The lawmaker was elected to the Plateau State House of Assembly in 2015, where he served as Deputy Speaker, and he was elected to the House of Representatives in 2019.
