HOME


ABUJA – The Minority Leader of the 7th House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has emerged the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC for the House’s speakership.

In a mock primaries conducted by the leadership of the party in Abuja on Saturday, Gbajabiamila polled 154 votes.

But this development happened amidst heavy protest by Gbajabiamila’s rival, Hon. Yakubu Dogara who staged a walk out from the premises with his supporters after he was announced to have polled 3 votes.

To them, the senerio was more like an ambush as the party did not tell the candidates or advitised that they were going to conduct the primaries.

Just 154 votes? Out of 218 APC members.

The remaining APC members left will sure combine with the PDP members in the House of Rep to give Dogara the speakership.

It happened in 2011 and it will repeat itself again. Just watch and see as the PDP thwart this plan with the APC rebels in the main election.

Up APC, UP Tinubu. Senator Ahmed Lawan is up next, if he emerges, then Tinubu will go on record as having delivered the president, vice president, senate president and speaker of the house of reps. Indeed, Tinubu is the quintessential political god father of our time. Hate him or not, he gets the job done without excuse. Am sure Tanoids won't like this news at all. grin grin grin

Dogara should just accept deputy speaker post,Gbajabiamila is a better candidate than him.

With this recent development, Dogara has clinged the speakership of the house.

I would leave you to do the maths.

I smell anoda Tanbuwal drama. But I always trust my APC to play its card well. Gbaja is the New Speaker.

Very commendable action by d APC.
This is d way of democracy, not someone imposing a candidate and forcing others to endorse same.
@least almost all elected APC members were allowed to freely chose their preferred speaker.
These are legacies that would strengthen our democracy,all kudos to the non interference by PMB.

Femi=154 VOTES not enough to make him automatic speaker
Dogara=64 APC VOTES + possible 142 PDP Votes gives us 206 votes

Femi=154 votes
Dogara=206 votes.

Then the 64 APC members would be suspended by their party followed by them decamping to PDP who would then control majority in the house...!!!

And may be a reason not to vote for him too.
PDP's votes will be divided and as such, Gbajabiamila is the new Speaker.
I don't see Dogara contesting on Tuesday. APC has an effective conflict management tool.
