The speaker stated this when he featured on Channels Television’s Political Paradigm, in reaction to speculations that he was making a move to contest the governorship election in Lagos in 2023.

“No, I don’t have any such plan; I have no immediate plan.

“I have a job that I am doing now, a very tough job; sometimes the most difficult job but people don’t understand”, he said.

Gbajabiamila has been representing Surulere I Federal Constituency in the House since 1999, and emerged as the Speaker in 2019.

The lawmaker said the incumbent Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is doing quite well despite the challenges he faces. He added that since the governor was elected into office, he has proven himself as a diligent public office holder.

Gbajabiamila continued, “I don’t want distractions. I am working as the Speaker of the House of Representatives with a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders right now; any other thing will be a distraction.

“As for the Lagos State governorship (election), I have not even thought about it and why? (because) the present governor of Lagos State is doing a good job.

“The fact that we had a one-term governor at one time does not mean it is going to be the same. The governor is doing a good job under the circumstances – these are difficult times in the last two years and he’s come out well”, the speaker submitted.
