As the race for the Speaker of the 10th House of Representatives hots up, a leading contender, Muktar Betera Aliyu, has visited the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to canvass for support and endorsement.
The member representing Biu/Bayo/Shani and Kwaya Kusar Federal Constituency of Borno State has been canvassing support from party members, members-elect, former lawmakers and other stakeholders.
His campaign and consultation to the President-elect is one out of many consultations he has embarked upon in the last three months ahead of June inauguration.

In a video made available by his campaign media office on Wednesday morning, the President-elect held Betara’s hand as he led him into the inner room for discussions.
Betara, who chairs the House of Representatives Appropriation Committee, exchanged warm pleasantries with the incoming President shortly after having some photo sessions.
Betara’s consultation visit to the President-elect took place at his new official residence at the Defence House in Abuja, following the latter’s return from vacations and the Muslim lesser Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
Also seen in the video with Betara were the outgoing president of the Senate, Sen. Ahmad Lawan, former Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi and a host of other loyalists of the President-elect.
