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 to congratulate him on his successful Inuaguaration.
As the next parliament is due to be inaugurated this month the visit is in line with Abbas and Kalu’s quest to further strengthen their commitment towards bringing quality leadership to the House of Representatives.
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.
While addressing the press corps, the duo assured them that the President was ready to address the challenges of the nation and if elected on June will align themselves with People Oriented National Objectives
