Member- elect representing Zaria constituency, Tajudeen Abbas has been elected the Speaker of House of Representatives for the 10th assembly.
Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, the outgoing Majority Leader of the House, took the initiative to nominate Tajudeen Abbas as the Speaker of the 10th House of Representatives. This motion was seconded by Nnolim Nnaji.
Abbas defeated Ahmed Idris Wase, the former Deputy speaker of House of Representatives, and Aminu Sani Jaji.
Tajudeen Abbas is the preferred candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while Ado-Doguwa himself withdrew from the speakership race in favour of the party’s candidate. Furthermore, the ruling party has also put forward a nominee for the position of Deputy Speaker in the 10th national assembly.
