The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abass, has declared the Surulere 1 Federal Constituency Seat vacant following the official resignation of the erstwhile lawmaker and former Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Abass on Wednesday read Gbajabiamila’s resignation letter which was presented on the floor of the house.
SaharaReporters earlier today reported that Gbajabiamila was expected to tender his resignation as a lawmaker.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would need to conduct a fresh election to fill the vacant seat.
