The Speaker of Kwara State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ali Ahmad, at the weekend declared that Nigeria’s legislature is suffering as a result of the nation’s hostile system which discourages lawyers’ participation and involvement in polit‎ics.

‎He stated this in Ilorin while speaking with journalists on the state of the nation.

Citing the example of the United States of America system, Ahmad explained that right from District Attorney to State Legislature, Congressman and to contesting for the position of Governor or President, the system encourages lawyers’ participation and it is friendly.

He insisted that lawyers have a lot to contribute to make the country’s legislature stable and work perfectly.
