Betara, who is Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, declared his speakership bid despite the 10th National Assembly leadership zoning plan that did not favour him.
On his official Twitter account, @HonAhmedWase, the Deputy Speaker, tweeted photos from the event and wrote, “In line with the agreement reached during our meeting of group of four where we unanimously agreed to grace each other’s flag-off, I attended the speakership declaration of my friend and brother, Hon. Mukhtar Betara, which took place at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.
In House, the seat of Speaker was zoned to the North-West, with Tajudeen Abbas, as the consensus candidate.
