Mr Gbajabiamila, in a tweet on his timeline on Friday, said they are all men he has worked with for many years.

“Yesterday I met with aspirants for the office of the Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives in the coming 10th Assembly. All 9 aspirants I have known and worked with for many years and I have no doubt will do well in continuing and building on the legacy of the 9th Assembly,” he said.

Some of the men at the meeting include Deputy Speaker Idris Wase (APC, Plateau), Yusuf Gagdi (APC, Plateau), Muktar Betara (APC, Borno), Ben Kalu (APC, Abia), Sada Soli (APC, Katsina), Tunji Olawuyi (APC, Kwara) and Abubakar Makki (APC, Jigawa).

Others include Tajudeen Abbas (APC, Kaduna) and Aminu Jaji (APC, Zamfara).

PREMIUM TIMES reported how the aspirants have commenced the campaign while waiting for the decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on where the position will be zoned to..

The ruling party had in March met to discuss the zoning of the office, however, no decision was made on zoning.

Mr Gbajabiamila, while speaking to journalists after the March meeting held at the State House, said the decision will be taken after the governorship elections. The governorship elections were held on 18 March.

It is perhaps possible that the ruling party will wait for the outcome of the 15 April supplementary elections for taking a decision on zoning.

The results of only 325 seats were declared after the 25 February National Assembly elections. There are 360 seats in the lower chamber.

The chamber has had nine speakers since the return of democracy in 1999. Whoever emerges in June when the 10th National Assembly will be inaugurated will be the 10th speaker.

Nice one

But all those elected should Stick to their position without lobbying for Ministerial position.

Nigeria don't have such money to be conducting unnecessary election

Nice one, time to lobby for jobs that they clearly have no intention of doing. They just sit around and receive fat salaries.

Ohh Okay

Consensus rubberstamp loading

I think Femi Gbaja will be the chief of staff to president tinubu while Ibrahim Masari will be the chief protocol to the president.

That is if the so called Tinubu becomes the President.

Noted.

Okay

It is most likely that Gbaja wouldn't be sitting as a floor member in the next Assembly.

He has seen it all in that green chamber.
