Tinubu Speaks on Choice of Candidates for Senate President, House of Reps Speaker

The President-elect, Bola Tinubu has said that he does not have any preferred candidates for leadership of the forthcoming 10th National Assembly.

Tinubu stated this at a meeting on Monday, while addressing new members-elect to the National Assembly on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The meeting was held inside the Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, Abuja.

ValidView Network gathered that the president-elect’s position on the composition of the leadership of the soon-to-be-composed 10th National Assembly was delivered at the meeting by the Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima.

At the meeting were the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu; APC National Secretary, Iyiola Omisore; and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC).

The meeting according to a source within the party was to avoid a situation that played out in 2015 where Senator Bukola Saraki emerged as Senate President against the party’s wish.
