He pledged to ensure mutual working relationship between members of the assembly and the state government for the speedy development of the state. The House later adjourned its sitting until further notice.

They said they wanted the immediate-past Speaker, Kawuwa Shehu Damina, to return and therefore rejected the emergence of the new Speaker. APC has 22 out of the 31 Assembly members; PDP has eight while NNPP has one member .

Before Tinubu's emergence, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party had set up a committee led by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun to screen the presidential aspirants.
