Plans to adopt Tajudeen Abass as the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 10th National Assembly, suffered a setback on Tuesday night, as members-elect, including serving House of Representatives members, revolted, insisting they will not have candidates imposed on them by political parties.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila had advised lawmakers of the 10th National assembly that the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu may issue a directive to all contestants for the position of speaker to withdraw from the race and support Tajudeen Abass.
Gbajabiamila, who addressed members and members-elect in Abuja on Tuesday Night at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, was accompanied by Tajudeen Abass, whom he said was the preferred choice of Tinubu.
