DEPUTY Speaker of House of Representatives, Yussuf Lasun Monday said that no matter the level of pressure on him to step down.

There have been pressure from some of the All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders, Chieftains and the government of Osun State on the Deputy Speaker to resign for Femi Gbajabiamila who was the party’s adopted candidate in the election of presiding officer of the House on June 9.

But Lasun said that his constituency has been playing prominent role for the victory of the opposition party which is now the ruling party since 2007, adding that stepping down was not possible for him.

The Deputy Speaker stated this when his kinsmen, the Ilobu Development Association, Osun, Abuja branch paid a solidarity visit to him in his office.

This however, is coming on the heels of the meeting convened by President Muhammadu Buhari with the APC lawmakers over the leadership crisis within the ranks of the APC members in the lower chamber that has paralysed legislative business.
