Ahead of the June 13, 2023 date for the election of new presiding officers for the 10th House of Representatives, the ranks of those rooting for the mergence of Hon. Tajudeen Abbas as the Speaker of the Assembly rose Thursday as a fourth-term member-elect, Hon. Abiodun Akinlade, threw his weight behind the aspirant.
Akinlade, representing Yewa South/Ipokia Federal Constituency in Ogun state said he decided to openly canvass support for Abbas because of the lawmaker’s legislative pedigree and track records.
The prominent member of National Working Committee of SWAGA, the group that pioneered the Presidential campaign of President Bola Tinubu, described Abass as a quiet but resourceful personality with the requisite legislative experience and leadership qualities to lead the 10th Assembly.
According to him: “Abbas possesses the experience and knowledge to steer the ship of the 10th Assembly to legislative excellence. I call on my colleagues to support him for a rancour-free Assembly.”
While calling on other aspirants to close ranks with Abbas to emerge the Speaker, Akinlade urged him to extend the hands of fellowship to his co-contestants for the purpose of having a united house to deliver on the mandate given by the Nigerian people.
The ranking House member who assured that the 10th Assembly would live up to people’s expectations, also seized the opportunity to congratulate the outgoing Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, on his appointment as the Chief of Staff (CoS) to the President.
He said the appointment reflected the confidence reposed in the Speaker’s experience and competence by the President.
