guys....Tinubu is not Bamanga tukur, Mulikat is not Femi and Dogora can never be Tambuwal. we know how to do the election. trust the west

barcanista:
Should PDP queue up behind Dogara and he emerges Speaker, it means PDP will have the Deputy slot and will defacto call the shots in the House, just as APC called the shots in the 7th House. This will weaken the APC and also a precursor for 2019.

La barca, it's much more difficult than that. It is not over until it is over

And barcanista keeps schooling the APC mórons

Who told you, The Hausa PDP Reps, The Yoruba PDP, The absentee APC reps will all vote for Dogara?

Mr. Taniod, you better start addressing Gbaja as your speaker to enable you prepare your attack and criticism early!

Hungry Political analyst!

You ended up talking nonsense and trash.

Your idea is not needed

by Musa Abdullahi

Femi Gbaja Biamila, surname also spelled Gbaja-Biamila and Gbajabiamila is a Nigerian lawyer, All Progressives Congress politician, and Minority Leader of the House of Representatives.

According to case file published by Leagle, Inc. a leading provider of copies of primary caselaw from all Federal courts and all State higher courts in America, referred to as Femi Gbaja, he admits violating Rule 1.15(I) of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in Bar Rule 4-102(d).

The case reads, “This disciplinary matter is before the Court on Respondent Femi Gbaja’s Petition for Voluntary Discipline, which was filed under Bar Rule 4-227(b)(2) before a formal complaint was issued. In his petition, Gbaja admits violating Rule 1.15(I) of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in Bar Rule 4-102(d). Although a violation of this rule is punishable by disbarment, Gbaja requests the imposition of a 24-month suspension. He agrees, however to accept a suspension of up to 36 months.”

It says “Gbaja, who has only been a member of the Bar since 2001, admits that he accepted payment of $25,000 as settlement of a client’s personal injury claims, deposited those funds in his attorney trust account in January 2003, failed to promptly disburse those funds to his client, withdrew those funds for his own use, closed his practice and moved out of the country”.


“Gbaja admits violating Rule 1.15(I) of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in Bar Rule 4-102(d). Although a violation of this rule is punishable by disbarment, Gbaja requests the imposition of a 24-month suspension. He agrees, however to accept a suspension of up to 36 months.”.

In the Matter of Femi GBAJA, Supreme Court of Georgia, February 26, 2007 cited that, although Gbaja ultimately paid the $25,000 to his client in 2006, he admits his conduct violated Rule 1.15(I) and that, as a result, he is subject to disbarment.

“In mitigation of his actions Gbaja asserts that he has cooperated fully with disciplinary authorities, repaid his client, and is extremely remorseful for the consequences of his conduct. Under these circumstances, we conclude that a 36-month suspension is an appropriate sanction. Accordingly, Gbaja hereby is suspended for a period of 36 months. He is reminded of his duties under Bar Rule 4-219(c).”

What's the purpose of this thread? I don't think any sane person will call Femi a "speaker-elect". Just like you used Mulikat as precedence, the party is only trying to adopt a candidate that all the APC reps should (not must) vote for, but to avoid the mistake of PDP, instead of the party hierarchy imposing a candidate, it was thrown open to the APC reps (elect). I see it as an event with good intentions. Everybody knows the conclusion of the said "primaries" is not binding!

This should even be hailed as a good step towards internal democracy, and should Dogara wish not to abide, he should realize that he risks his party losing out completely, as a PDP candidate, with the help of all PDP, Labour and APGA reps (elect) could emerge as speaker. Talk about cutting your nose to spite your face...

Tanoids at it again.... Let me guess...once the play gets down as it should be... OP 'll come up with another tale about how his piece ..bla bla bla....

aresa:
lol @ Nollywood rejects story writers and their crooked imagination. Sad effects of zero meaningful employment after jona's exit..

I read the same funny story about some APC rep teaming up with some PDP loser just to secure leadership election...

ENU E LOWA YEN!

Thanks for the clarification.

barcanista:
APC have no business with the Tuesday election. They won't be there to supervise nor campaign for the party's nominee.
With the 121 PDP members, Dongara need the 10 non APC/PDP members, 121 PDP legislators, and just 50 APC legislators to clinch the seat. It is possible

WITH WHAT APC DID TODAY IT SHOWS THAT APC IS TESTING THE WATER TO KNOW HOW DEEP THE RIVER IS, AND ALSO TO KNOW IF THE ODD IS AGAINST THEM OR IS IN THEIR FAVOUR.

183 came for the meeting out of 214. Who says the 31 that were not able to make the meeting are for Dogara?

Watch has things will pan out on Tuesday. Dogara will lose again. This time around with more margin.

One thing Barcanista has not really learnt is the ability to read the handwriting on the wall.

Barcanista you are becoming a nuisance and losing your respect you have in this forum. As for me you are now idiot and attention seeker, frustrated and only pouring your anger for the lost of th so called SSA position. Nonsense

You obviously lack basic comprehension skills, the OP simply stated some possibilities not certainties as your bigoted eye saw.

Next time you don't understand a post simply stay in the background so as not to embarrass yourself in public.

God bless you Ahmeduana.

Between now and Tuesday, Femi will reach out to his own in PDP and he will definitely coast home to victory again.

The significance of today's event is to send a clear cut message to neutrals as to where the winning team is. Neutrals will not want to lose out in the power play of the emerging new house and its sharing formular of committees. They will align between now and Tuesday. Survival instinct which is the a key ingredient of self-preservation will come to play.

Wait and see.

There is a real possibility that political game being played by the North is to take speakership like they did with Tambuwal.

barcanista:
This thread is to enlighten people with respect to the status of the House of Representative Speakership.
Earlier today, after reading this thread https://www.nairaland.com/2361982/speakership-gbajabiamila-wins-apc-primaries, lots of people had the false impression that Hon Femi Gbajabiamila has been elected Speaker of the Federal House of Representative. Some supporters of Hon Gbajabiamila are even celebrating, chanting victory songs and calling Hon Dongara to sheath his sword.
The status is that there is NO Speaker-elect of Federal House of Representative as at today 06/06/2015.

How The Speaker is Chosen:
The Constitution is very clear on how House of Representative Speaker is to emerge. According to Section 50(1b)
"There shall be a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves.
The position of the law is that the Speaker of the House and his/her Deputy are to emerge by election, and only members of the house irrespective of party affiliation are eligible to stand as candidate(s) and also participate in the voting process. As at today, no such election has taken place.

The Status of The "APC" Speaker Primaries
The so-called APC "Speaker" Primary election that produced Femi Gbajabiamila as Speaker is alien to the law. It has binding on no one, not even on APC members, and has no effect whatsoever in the process. Hon Gbajabiamila's emergence as Speaker of the APC promary is nothing but the "advisory" position of the party.

Can Gbajabiamila Lose The Speakership?
Absolutely YES!
APC has 214 Lawmakers in the House, PDP 121, while LP, APGA and Accord have 10 combined. Of all the APC members, 154 endorsed Gbajabiamila, 61 members boycotted the so called "primary". Hon Dogara will emerge Speaker should the pro-Dogara 61 APC legislators and the 121 PDP members vote for him(Dogara) on the day of the election irrespective of who the other 10 non PDP/APC members cast their vote for. With the adoption of a PDP candidate for the Deputy Speaker position, Ðongara will most likely get the nod of PDP contingents.

2011 Precedent:
In 2011 the PDP adopted Hon Mulikat Adeola and the party instructed all its members to vote for the Ogbomoso born Mulikat for the position. However, it was not to be as the ACN/CPC(APC) and rebellious PDP members voted against the PDP candidate, and voted Hon Saminu Tambawal instead. It won't be surprising for PDP to take their own pound of flesh by voting against the official APC nominee.

While nobody has been elected Speaker of the Federal House of Respresentative, I congratulate Hon Femi Gbajabiamila on his emergence as Speaker of Federal House of All Progressive Congress.


God Bless Us All

I wonder the type of legacy you're leaving behind!

Smh for you!

But in 2011, even the Yorubas in APC voted against Mulikat Akande to produce Tambuwal in PDP and I am sure somebody like you hailed that action and praised the saboteurs for going against their party's choice now such scenario has presented itself and you are analyzing bullshit and cursing another person's calculation simply because you feel it's not what you/APC wants.
I want u to understand that Kama happens and learn to be tolerant of other people's view

I hope Dogara does not fool himself, because he will lose any way you look at it. PDP holding tightly to a ray of hope in their massive nightmare

I have left you alone to your wanderings and ignored your threads since GEJ lost election. I am responding to this one because I find it insulting that someone at your high level of academic achievement has found it abundantly rewarding to scavenge news crumbs for the end goal of retention.

I suspect you are suffering from a similar malady that your god, GEJ was afflicted with. Do me a favor, start giving broad interpretation to political events. Begin to act as an agent of expansion and growth....stop compressing and injecting caustic views into what ordinarily is dynamic and spirited.

Gbaja needs 175 to secure the seat, he has 154 on lock down, he needs 21 more, that 21 needed he can get from the 31 APC absentees or/and over 120 PDP members

Didn't bother reading... because I know you suffer from serious disillussion.

Whereas, Gbaja needs just 26 more votes to what he already has to emerge speaker. Given his experience as one of the longest serving house of rep member, this will not be difficult for him at all. As he would have built relationships that cuts across different parties. And also given the fact that we also have quite a nos of yoruba reps of PDP.

Stop hoping 'protection seeker' it's a done deal. Hon Gbajabiamila will be the speaker on Tue to your uttermost chagrin. Just as buhari emerged and you have not had peace since then.

You are very funny. You are analysing your own advantages without considering the advantages and resources of the other side. That is the effect of getting too emotional with issues.

I sit down and wonder what brand of Politics the OP knows or thinks is going on her. The ACN started it is 2011 yes but this is not a game the APC is not new to. A lot of APC members were not at the mock elections does that mean they support Dongara? If Femi needs just 26 more to win, if I were Dongara, I will quietly just chill and negotiate for a post as the post of deputy speaker is gone.

The thing Barcanista forgets is that there is a number of PDP house of reps members that will want to decamp to the APC and this is a perfect opportunity to show loyalty.

You do not play game of "if" in politics with people you know are not decided. Barcanista thinks he is playing with PDP whose internal discipline is hilarious, the APC has a way if dealing with their own people and Femi getting 26 from the PDP/absentee APC reps is not so difficult.

Dongara on the other hand has a tough job of trying to sell himself to the PDP. This is not 2011 where the ACN voted against Mulikat because they don't want someone that influential to be in the SW and so they voted Tambuwal. What will be the position of the PDP reps from the SW? What do they gain by voting Dongata? You really believe that will do as their party asks but the APC reps has shown they will vote what they believe will make them relevant
