Na'Abba, on Tuesday said he has been jobless since he left the
National Assembly in 2003.
Na'Abba was Speaker of the House on the platform of the Peoples
Democratic Party from 1999 to 2003 during the administration of
President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He spoke during a national stakeholders' summit on gender-based
violence affecting young people in Nigeria, organised by the Dr. Joe
Okei-Odumakin-led Women Arise for Change Initiative.
Na'Abba, who chaired the occasion, said since he left office, he had
considered various jobs but had not been able to settle for one until
now.
He said with the revelation made at the event, he had decided to
henceforth take up the job of a compere because of its lucrative
nature.
He said, "In the last 11 years since I left the House of
Representatives, I have been trying to find what to do.
"I have looked and considered various things to do professionally, I
still have not come out with something.
"But today, I have learnt how lucrative it is to be an MC. Without
trying to take the market share away from people like Adesuwa, let me
say that I have now found something to do.
"From today, I want to become an MC. May be the next time the host is
organising a programme, my name will feature as the MC", he said.
Na'Abba's comment was based on the host's earlier remarks.
Dr. Okei-Odumakin had while delivering her welcome address, expressed
appreciation to a popular broadcaster, Adesuwa Onyenekwe, for offering
her service as Master of Ceremony free of charge.
She had said the public appreciation was necessary because the minimum
fee the broadcaster charges per outing was N1m.
