House of Reps member, Tunji Olawuyi, gives reason for withdrawal from speakership race

The lawmaker representing Ekiti/Irepodun/Isin/and Oke-Ero Federal Constituency of Kwara State, Tunji Olawuyi, has explained why he stepped down from the race for the House speakership position.

Olawuyi, who addressed journalists in Omu-Aran, headquarters of Irepodun local government area of Kwara State, said he considered the All Progressives Congress (APC) choice of Tajudeen Abass for the position as supreme, hence his decision to step down.

Abbas and Benjamin Kalu were elected as the speaker and deputy speaker of the House of Representatives last Tuesday.
