Jaji contested for the Speakership of the 10th House ahead of its June 2023 inauguration, drawing endorsements from sections of the Zamfara APC before the party settled on another aspirant. In October 2023 he called on the Federal Government to investigate reports that soldiers had held talks with armed bandits in the North West.
