The deputy speaker of the house of representatives, Idris Wase on Friday, met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja.
Speaking with journalists after the meeting, Wase said he is still in the race for the speakership of the 10th assembly.
Wase said he has not stepped down or withdrawn for any candidate in the race.
“I am in the race, and by the grace of God, I am going to conclude the race. I have not withdrawn or stepped down for anybody,” he said.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) had anointed Tajudeen Abbas and Benjamin Kalu as the preferred candidates for the positions of speaker and deputy.
