Honourable Jide Olatunbosun representing Saki West/Saki East/Atisbo Federal Constituency of Oyo State, has joined the race for the position of the speaker of the House of Representatives.
Olatunbosun yesterday informed his colleagues about his intention in a text message to them to seek their support.
“My intention to contest for the office of the Speaker. My compliments, dearest colleagues, With utmost sense of responsibility, I write to humbly notify you of my intention to vie for the Office of the Speaker, House of Representatives.
“In realization of this, I hereby solicit your kind support. Yours in service of the nation,” his message read.
Olatunbosun will be contesting against the incumbent Majority Leader Femi Gbajabiamila, Ado Doguwa, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha and others to succeed Speaker Yakubu Dogara.
Last month, the lawmaker said he was under “intense pressure” to contest for the post of Speaker of the House in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Iseyin.
