The lawmakers say the meeting centred on the issues facing the country, particularly the economy and social challenges.
Mr Tinubu had endorsed the duo while he was still the president-elect. However, several aggrieved aspirants in the race have rejected the endorsement.
With the inauguration of Mr Tinubu, it remains unclear the level of influence he may exert on the election of the leadership of the 10th Assembly. Mr Abbas said he had not been able to meet with the president since the latter was sworn in on Monday.“We did not discuss our opponents who want to be speaker or deputy speaker. We restricted our discussion to the matters of the day, issues that have to do with the challenges this country is facing, particularly the economic and social challenges. And what he intends to do in the next few days, particularly what he has done on the issue of fuel subsidy,” he said.
“I will want to go back to history. Even the people not endorsed by the government of those days, have they done better than the leadership of the 9th Assembly which we believe was the first time the thinking of the legislature and executive were in sync.
