I’ve Not Declared Support For Any Speakership Aspirant, Gbajabiamila Insists…

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has reiterated his position on who will emerge as his successor.

Gbajabiamila, in a tweet on Thursday, refuted a report claiming he was in opposition to the purported ambitions of Deputy Speaker Ahmed Idris Wase and others in the running for the office of Speaker in the 10th House.

However, Gbajabiamila, who is tipped to serve as President-elect Bola Tinubu’s chief of staff, maintained, “I have not declared support for any of my colleagues who have declared their interest.”

He restated that there is a need to wait for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to complete its zoning exercise, saying he cannot work against his party’s interest and position.
