President Bola Tinubu on Thursday met with the candidates anointed by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the speakership and deputy speakership of the 10th House of Assembly, Tajudeen Abbas and Ben Kalu, respectively.
The duo met with Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja as the next parliament is due to be inaugurated this month.
Their visit may not be unconnected with the race for the speakership and the controversy surrounding their choice.
Barring any last-minute change, members of the 10th National Assembly will be inaugurated on June 13 after which a new Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker, and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives would emerge.
