Femi Gbajabiamila, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, expressed his remorse over his past endorsement of Aminu Tambuwal as Speaker during the 7th National Assembly.
Gbajabiamila shared this sentiment during a gathering of the Joint Task – 10th Assembly in Abuja on Wednesday evening.
The task force comprises elected members from both the All Progressives Congress and opposition parties, who are preparing for the upcoming 10th National Assembly.
He said…
“I deeply regret it,” Gbajabiamila admitted, reflecting on the previous instances where speakership aspirants challenged the chosen candidates of their respective parties.
In the course of the meeting, the coalition designated Tajudeen Abbas and Benjamin Kalu as the preferred candidates of the APC for the positions of Speaker and Deputy Speaker, respectively, in the 10th House.
