One of the front-line aspirants for the Speakership race, Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, has visited President Bola Tinubu three times in the last 72 hours at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
In a tweet on his official Twitter handle, Gagdi said the meetings were about his ambition of becoming the Speaker of the 10th House of Representatives and the leadership issue of the 10th Assembly.
Gadgi, who represents Pankshin/Kanye/Kanam Federal Constituency of Plateau State, commended the President for the honour and unique show of love to him and his constituents.
The lawmaker said he was in discussion and consultation with other aspirants in the race as well as national leaders of the party on the way forward on the issue.
Gagdi, however, said he will soon make an official statement on his aspiration ahead of the inauguration of the 10th House on June 13, and asked his supporters to remain calm.
