As the 10th National Assembly approaches its inauguration, there are strong indications that Honourable Tajudeen Abbas and Benjamin Kalu are poised to emerge
The current Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has been appointed as Tinubu’s Chief of Staff .This new role places Gbajabiamila in a position of influence, allowing him to lobby and advocate for his preferred candidates, Abbas and Kalu. With his support, Gbajabiamila can mobilize colleagues, even across party lines, to garner support for the duo’s bid for leadership.
In contrast to former President Muhammadu Buhari’s limited interest in the composition of the 9th National Assembly leadership, President Tinubu, being a seasoned politician and parliamentarian himself, has embraced Abbas and Kalu’s ambition as his personal project. Tinubu’s active involvement behind the scenes indicates that he is invested in the success of Abbas and Kalu’s leadership, further strengthening their position within the party.
The Speakership candidate, who was backed by his co-sojourner in the bid to lead the 10th House of Representatives, Ben Kalu, assured that nobody can manipulate the 360 members of the House of Representatives. “Nobody, Speaker or Senate President, Deputy Speaker or Deputy Senate President, nobody can manipulate the 360 members of the House of Reps to make them do what is not in the best interest of the public and we have shown from our conduct in the 9th Assembly that for the very first time, even with the cordial relationship between the Executive and the Legislature, we had cause, for the very first time, to summon Mr.
“I want to assure you that for those who know me, either in the National Assembly or outside the National Assembly, they will tell you one thing very peculiar to me is that I’m a peacemaker. I’m somebody who relates with everyone, I’m a team player.
