It's now the time to run for Speaker of the Federal Assembly. Wase
Idris Wase, who is the Deputy Speaker of the Federal Assembly, spoke out against the APC and Tinubu's decision to give Tajuddeen Abbas of Kaduna State the post of Speaker of the Federal Assembly.
Wase has been Femi Gbajabiamila's deputy for four years. He said that now is the time for him to become the Speaker of the Federal Assembly.
He said this on Friday at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja. In his speech, he said he stole Bola Tinubu's style of "Emi lokon" and said, "Now is my time, too."
"At this time, I'll use the style of a saying that Bola Tinubu's master used: "emi lokan, emi lokan, emi lokan," he said three times, which means "now is the same time."
Someone from Plateau State said that the ruling party in Nigeria needs to follow the rules in the country's constitution so that the North-Central region doesn't get left out.
"It should be mentioned that since Nigeria went back to democracy in 1999 and until 2023, the North Central region is the only one that has never had a Speaker of the Federal Assembly.
"We'll bring someone who will be the Speaker of the Federal Assembly," - Betara:

He said there is no way to say that the APC and a group of people will decide who will be the Speaker of the Federal Assembly without asking the members of parliament.
