NASS CRISIS: Buhari Meets With Gbajabiamila’s Group by Dbrainiac1(m): 2:09am On Jul 03, 2015 |
President Muhammadu Buhari last night met with former Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila and members of his group, during which they asked for protection owing to their loyalty to their party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). Gbajabiamila and his supporters in the House have been at loggerheads Hon. Yakubu Dogara since the latter defied the APC to emerge Speaker of the lower legislative chamber. Gbajabiamila led a 30-man strong delegation, which included Hon. Mohammed Monguno who was defeated in the race for the post of Deputy Speaker of the House by Hon. Yusuff Lasun. Senator Ahmed Lawan and Gbajabiamila had been picked by the ruling APC as the candidates for the Senate presidency and speakership of the House but lost the elections to Senator Bukola Saraki and Dogara, respectively, who got the backing of lawmakers of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the leadership race. Senator Abu Ibrahim, representing Katsina South senatorial district, was the only senator in the delegation last night. They arrived at the first lady’s wing of the Presidential Villa, venue of the meeting, at 9.30p.m. and were joined by Buhari at 9.45p.m. Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was also at the meeting. The meeting was called to explore ways to resolve the ongoing leadership crisis in the House and was the second one held by Buhari in recent days with National Assembly lawmakers. He was reported to have met Senator Lawan and his supporters a few days ago. However, he has studiously avoided any meetings with Saraki and Dogara who went against the wishes of the party to emerge principal officers of the National Assembly. A presidency source informed THISDAY that Gbajabiamila informed the president that they had been loyal to the party and yet had lost out in the leadership contest. They therefore solicited his support for protection as reward for their loyalty to APC. In response, Buhari was said to have assured them that the issues they had raised would be addressed at the meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the APC scheduled for Friday. He told them that the issue of party supremacy would again be tabled at the meeting with a view to ensuring that the outstanding principal positions in the House are secured by the candidates nominated by the APC. Following his loss to Dogara, APC had in a letter to the Speaker, forwarded Gbajabiamila’s name to emerge Majority Leader of the House. Other nominees of the party included Hon. Ado Doguwa (North-West) as Deputy House Leader; Mohammed Monguno (North-East) as Chief Whip; and Pally Iriiase as Deputy Chief Whip. Last night’s meeting with Gbajabiamila and other APC House members was still ongoing at the time of this report.
