In a surprising move, Tajudeen Abbas, the recently elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, paid a visit to former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari in London on Monday, June 27.
Abbas, who emerged as the winner of the Speaker’s position on Tuesday, June 13, secured victory after amassing an impressive 181 votes. The declaration was made following an individual voice-voting exercise conducted by the Clerk on the floor of the house.
The newly appointed Speaker wasted no time in assembling his team, as he announced 33 new appointments on the same day. Among these appointments, Leke Bayeiwu, a seasoned journalist from Punch Newspaper, was chosen as Abbas’s Chief Press Secretary (CPS). Bayeiwu, known for his extensive coverage of the National Assembly, brings a wealth of experience and insight to his new role.
Furthermore, Ahmed Baba Musa, a respected reporter from Daily Independent, has been appointed as the Speaker’s Special Assistant on Print Media. Musa, who previously covered news related to the House of Representatives for his publication, is expected to contribute his expertise to the Speaker’s media strategy.
As of now, the details surrounding Speaker Abbas’s visit to former President Buhari in London remain undisclosed.
