The president-elect and the ruling APC have endorsed Senator Godswill Akpabio and Barau Jibrin for Senate president and deputy Senate president of the 10th National Assembly respectively. They also endorsed Tajudeen Abass and Benjamin Kalu for speaker and deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, respectively.
Reacting to the development, the 33-year-old who won the election under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said the country’s constitution has given the mandate to the members of the National Assembly to choose their leaders, adding that endorsement will not yield any positive results.
The member-elect who spoke in Abuja, said both Tinubu and outgoing speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, should allow the members of the 10th Assembly to select their leaders, as they will not be around when the leadership will perform its activities in the House.
