Immediate past speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, will resign his position as a member of the Green Chamber today.
Gbajabiamila was appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Chief of Staff on Friday, June 2.
Concerns had emerged as to how he was going to manage both roles given that the former Speaker had been inaugurated alongside his colleagues on Tuesday and had voted as well for the leadership of the House.
OduNews gathered that the lawmaker will resign as member of the legislature today.
Gbaja, as he is fondly called, has been elected for six consecutive terms to represent the people of Surulere 1 Federal Constituency of Lagos in the National Assembly.
He served as the Minority Whip of the house, and by the end of his second term in office, Gbajabiamila had sponsored the highest number of Bills in the National Assembly.
In 2015, Gbajabiamila put himself forward to lead the House as Speaker of the 8th House. He narrowly lost that election. He put himself forward again in 2019 and was on the 12th of June, 2019 overwhelmingly elected Speaker of the 9th House of Representatives.
Gbajabiamila also served as the Chairman of the Conference of African Speakers of Parliament.
