A group of members of the House of Representatives have said that national unity, of which the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, made one of his top priorities, is now under threat following the way and manner some set of people are going about the jostle for the post of the Speaker of the House.
Reports from multiple sources regarding a meeting orchestrated by the Lagos cabal endorsing a particular candidate in person of Hon. Tajudeen Abass is not palatable to discerning minds as it would be inimical to national unity and harmonious relationship and coexistence between the Executive and Legislature in the 10th Assembly.
According to an inside source on Sunday, who was privy to the meeting on Friday night, while expressing dismay at what he described as the coup that was allegedly plotted by the current Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.

“It should be noted that at no point in time has members-elect agreed on a consensus candidate, and there has never been a consultation between leading aspirants for the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives. Any report of such is inimical to the principle of national unity, of which the president-elect is a known advocate”, he stated.
