House of Reps Picks Ogun Lawmaker as New Deputy Chief Whip
The House of Representatives has named Rt. Hon. Ibrahim Ayokunle Isiaka (APC, Ogun) as the new Deputy Chief Whip of the Green Chamber.
The announcement was made by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, during Tuesday’s plenary session, following consultations with the Majority Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Rep. Isiaka’s appointment follows the passing of the former Deputy Chief Whip, Rep. Adewunmi Oriyomi Onanuga (APC, Ogun), in January 2025.
“Following consultations with the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caucus and other stakeholders from the South West, the Leadership of the House has received and accepted the recommendation of Honourable Isiaka Ibrahim to serve as the Deputy Chief Whip of the House of Representatives,” the Speaker stated.
Rep. Isiaka, who represents Ifo/Ewekoro Federal Constituency of Ogun State, until his appointment served as the Chairman of the House Committee on National Planning and Economic Development.
A ranking member since his election in 2015, he has held several key positions, including Chairman of the Committee on Ecological Funds, Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Governmental Affairs, and has chaired numerous Ad Hoc Committees of the House.
In his remarks to members, Speaker Abbas emphasised: “Let’s take a moment to remember Honourable Onanuga’s invaluable contributions to this House, and to her nation. May her soul rest in peace. We congratulate Honourable Isiaka Ibrahim on this well-deserved elevation and trust that he will bring the same dedication and commitment to his new role as he has demonstrated in his service to this House and to his constituents.”
“We wish him success and God’s guidance as he undertakes this important responsibility. May we all continue to honour the memory of Honourable Onanuga by working together to serve the Nigerian people with diligence, integrity, and a sense of purpose.”
