A member of the House of Representatives, Hon Garba Datti Mohammad has said that the All Progressives Congress(APC) leadership is right in zoning the leadership of the 9th House.

The ranking member in the Green Chamber representing Sabon Gari federal constituency in Kaduna State on the platform of the APC spoke with The Nation in a chat.

According to the lawmaker, the leader of the House, Femi Gbajabiamiila ordinarily should have been elevated to the position of Speaker without any fuss.

He said: “That is because it is the normal convention in all democracies of the world.

“The majority party will always constitute the leadership and whoever is the head of that party in parliament that has the majority party automatically becomes the presiding officer.

“It happened in recent time. Just last November after the midterm election in US Nancy Pelosky became the Speaker.

“She was the Minority Leader but once they became the majority, she automatically became the Speaker.

“And this is the second term she has emerged as the Speaker; not even through election! It was just automatic.

“There was no election, although we have some slight differences in our constitution.

“To me, the decision of the party leaders is right. These (Gbajabiamila and Lawan) are two leaders that have done a lot for this party, so they deserve to lead.”

On the argument of the North Central lawmakers that they contributed more to the emergence of the President through their number of votes, he said: “Well, anybody can argue whatever he wants to argue but the hard fact is, these are our leaders and we have majority now, so automatically they should take over because they have never been found wanting in their positions.

“They have played very vital roles. Like Femi, he has been in the leadership since 2007 as Minority Whip, Minority Leader to Majority Leader and he has performed wonderfully well.

“Then you can never take away experience in this system; competence, experience, doggedness, everything you are looking for and he has paid his dues, so to me, there is no issue.

Speaking on the position of some PDP lawmakers that Gbajabiamiila can never be their Speaker, he said: “The minority can always have their say; the majority will always have their way!

“You can say whatever, the only thing is to try and unite as a party. Once we unite, PDP has no mouth to talk.

“They cannot decide who becomes the presiding officer. They can decide who becomes the Minority Leader and the Minority Whip but they cannot decide the Speaker; that is we put our house in order. I don’t think there will be many problems,” he said.

On if the party should call some of the aspirants to order because of the sheer numbers, he said: “Yes. I think the party has started doing that.

“I know of a person that even the President himself talked to him. I know of another person who his governor will talk to him either today or tomorrow to step down.

“So, I am sure we will have it right when the chips are down. Some are just flying kites, some are serious and some are not serious. We know that.”

Noticed Tinubu name wasn't mentioned in the write up....watch how wailers will be chewing his name like chewing stick as if he's the one contesting for Speaker.

We don't want an ex-con who is the head of Bola Tinubu's cartel as our number four citizen. Imagine someone barred from entering the United States as our Speaker

So who is the person president and Governor would talk to.. Ayayaya

In a country that is not ethnically heterogeneous, we would have the challenge we face with zoning political offices.

A minority leader should by right become the Speaker once his party becomes the majority.

He who led in opposition, would continue leading when now the party in power.

But that is not practical in Nigeria for our own peculiar reasons.

Nice

Barred by who?

You just love to thrive in your delusions.

Has he experienced the Visa difficulties that Atiku faced for 12yrs? Did that stop your ilk from supporting Atiku?

See the objective response to you irrelevant rejection.

Speaking on the position of some PDP lawmakers that Gbajabiamiila can never be their Speaker, he said: “The minority can always have their say; the majority will always have their way!

I believe Oshiomhole is serious about enforcing party discipline, and I believe Tinubu when he said those not willing to abide by party supremacy can leave and join other parties. APC is the party to set things right in this country and begin a marshall recovery for this country.

Wishing Gbajabiamila well and a successful outcome.

It is shameful display of idiocy for any Nigerian to make a statement about democracy where USA and Nigeria are mentioned.

One has to have some sympathy for Gbajabiamila.

He has been in the trenches as a leader in the House all these years, it seems like common decency to accord him the privilege to become speaker, unless of course there are competence issues.

However, those from his party who wish to contest for the position have a right to do so.

MetaPhysical:
I believe Oshiomhole is serious about enforcing party discipline, and I believe Tinubu when he said those not willing to abide by party supremacy can leave and join other parties. APC is the party to set things right in this country and begin a marshall recovery for this country.

Your idea of party discipline in Nigeria is delusion.

APC can only threaten Lawmakers with lots of garbage of corruption.

APC is a party and not their constituency. PDP voted against third term. PDP impeached Patricia Ete, PDP override OBJ veto on NDDC and the Party didn't do anything.

Moreover, voting for parliamentary heads in 9th Assembly will be by secret ballot hence Oshemohle threat is inconsequential.

Bullshit story. Peloski did get it automatically. They went through democratic process and for records she almost didnt win. Also she was formerly a speaker and the only female to have held that position.

Irrelevant nitwit. When will you guys learn that you only have a say if you pay your dues? Who is "we"? You and others who shout all day yet probably have no PVC and did not vote? Or is "we" the PDP House of Rep members who are in the minority and have no chance of producing Speaker? Mistake of 2015 will not happen in 2019. It is Lawan and Gbajabiamila. Furthermore APC will tighten its belt well to ensure the strategy to render PDP impotent in 2023 begins now. No dulling and you will reflect on this my prediction in future. APC learns lessons from Political mistakes. The PDP never does. The just concluded election has taught the APC needed lessons. Crackdown on PDP will be severe.

We are talking about APC and you throw PDP in, the two separate ideologies about social progress are incompatible.

Will you deny that APC enforced discipline in states where primaries held?

APC won smoothly the states that did primaries, the ones that refused had a very tough time reclaiming victory, in fact many of them lost to opposition. Another name for discipline is process or orderliness or structured. Those who love chaos, disorderliness and failure detest when the word discipline is mentioned.

Look at how Amosun ended. He snubbed his nose at party discipline. A very promising Governor, an executive of the second wealthiest state in Nigeria. Squandered his transition.
Compare with Lagos and Ambode's acceptance of party supremacy...the party and Elders of Lagos have met and reconciled with him...in fact they are sponsoring his NextLevel.

Party supremacy and orderliness in People's house is a must!

We must bring discipline to the people's house! Those who do not want an ordered society can step...

Give it a break already, we are talking about full grown mostly self-made politicians.

I mentioned PDP as it relates NASS and the politics obtainable in that branch of government.

They will outwit Oshemohle or whoever that is your so-called enforcer of APC party discipline. I can bet you on this

These men are adults.

Please stop commenting on political matters until you have studied how goverment and parties in democracy operate. Im shocked to read the bold.

There is a contract in civil society and its between the powerless people and a powerful government. There is need to balance the relationship. Counter-balances are set up to act as voice of presence for people interest so the government does not oppress them. That counter-balance is what Legislature is. Thats why we call it People's House.

The Legislature is not just to police government, they are also to cooperate with government and make its social policies smooth and to author laws that will improve society and encourage its growth.

How do people choose who will represent them? There is risk. Those you hire to protect you could turn out to sabotage your interest and make delivery of good progress difficult and stunt growth. So the system introduces brokerage, or a safety-net to protect against saboteurs.


Partisan Parties are the brokers (Insurance, so to speak). The safety-net people have to ensure that representation is satisfactory. When people are not satisfied they change their brokers and vote a different party at next election.

This is why on ballot paper you voting the party...the true power broker!

I hope you understand the relationship now.


On opposition, I will let you do your own study and learn what it is. I cant feed everything to you. You will become a lazy youth.

Bruv, bottom line is that the APC is a proper political Party with leaders, even with their faults, who have the right idea about how political structures and discipline should be built and maintained. PDP is merely a congregation of selfish fraudsters who want to get their hands on Nigeria's wealth asap and that is why its members are always up to desperate 419 antics today that benefit them individually short term but harm the Party long term.

Classic example is Saraki's totally self-serving 2015 gangster hijack of the Senate with collusion of the PDP and Ekweremadu. They thought they were being smart. Saraki and Ekweremadu enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame. Yet look how Saraki ended up. He is now disgraced and displaced with his career in politics completely over. Ekweremadu too is now a nobody who will be facing his own wahala soon. They have created a situation where the APC will now pay particular and microscopic attention to ensure the PDP is neutered because Saraki and co have shown PDP members are slimy and poisonous Snakes and not people to be treated with honour, decorum or as gentlemen.
