The immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, is expected to tender his resignation as a lawmaker on the floor of the House of Representatives today (Wednesday).
Recall that Gbajabiamila was recently appointed as the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu and has not collected his Certificate of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Concerns had emerged as to how the former Speaker was going to manage both roles given that he had been inaugurated alongside his colleagues on Tuesday and had voted as well for the leadership of the House.
However, according to Channels Television, Gbajabimaila, who represents Surulere 1 Federal Constituency of Lagos State, will submit his resignation letter to his successor, Tajudeen Abbas, to be able to focus on the task of serving as Chief of Staff.
Also, INEC will need to conduct a fresh election to fill the role left vacant by Gbajabiamila, Naija News understands.
