A federal lawmaker, Rep. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, on Sunday said she decided not to return to the House of Representatives in 2015 to give others the chance to contest.
Dabiri-Erewa, an APC member, who presently represents Ikorodu Federal Constituency, spoke with newsmen in Ikorodu, Lagos.
She was among delegates who voted at the APC primary election for the House of Representatives in Ikorodu.
The legislator said she would, however, continue to work for the party’s success as she was among the founding members in the South-West.
“My decision not to contest in the next election was a hard one.
“But I took the decision to allow others come in to gain experience and also to allow true democracy prevail.
“The constitution allows us to contest as many times as we want but having run for three times, we should give another person the chance to run and gather experience,” she said.
