The Niger State House of Assembly has sworn in Hon. Dagara Daje as the new member-elect for Munya Constituency, representing the All Progressives Congress (APC). The swearing-in ceremony took place on August 26, 2025, during a plenary session presided over by Speaker Abdulmalik Mohammed Sarkin-Daji.
Speaker Sarkin-Daji administered the Oath of Allegiance and the Oath of Membership to Hon. Daje, congratulating and welcoming him to the 10th Assembly of Niger State. He assured Daje of the House’s support, enabling him to succeed and contribute meaningfully to legislative activities.
Hon. Daje’s emergence as the member-elect follows his victory in the by-election held on August 16, 2025, in Munya Local Government Area. The by-election was conducted to fill the vacant seat created by the death of Hon. Joseph Haruna Duza of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Niger State House of Assembly.
The by-election was a significant event in the state’s political landscape, as it marked the first time the APC has won the Munya Constituency seat. The election was widely monitored, and the outcome has been seen as a testament to the APC’s growing influence in the region.
With Hon. Daje’s swearing-in, the Niger State House of Assembly is now fully constituted, and legislative activities are expected to resume in full swing. The new member-elect is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the state’s legislative agenda, particularly in areas affecting his constituency.
As the 10th Assembly of Niger State continues its session, Hon. Daje’s contributions will be closely watched, especially given the APC’s majority stance in the House. The state’s legislative body is tasked with addressing pressing issues, including economic development, infrastructure, and social welfare, and Hon. Daje’s input will be vital in shaping the state’s future.
