As the National Assembly resumes on Tuesday Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives, Yusuf Lasun says no amount of pressure will make him step down from his position.

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