He twitted these few minutes after the mock election

Our Stand on the Illegality perpetrated by leadership of the All Progressives Congress. We in the 8th Assembly Consolidation Group of Hon. Yakubu Dogara wish to state our position on the event of today Saturday 6th June 2015. We got invitation for a meeting summoned by the APC leadership and we went their with the expectation the party wanted to give us last word ahead of Tuesday’s inauguration of the House.

However, we began to notice some moves in the hall where members supporting. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila started campaigning and soon we saw ballot papers being moved in the hall. The National Chairman of the party Chief John Oyegun informed us that they were going to conduct a mock, straw or primary election. The 8th Assembly Consolidation Group mandated Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin to speak on our behalf. First, we read out the statement issued by our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari on the election of National Assembly leadership. We then told Chief Oyegun that it is either he is disagreeing with the President, undermining his stance, or does not agree that the president is the leader of the party.

Secondly, we informed the party that the remaining two aspirants in the race for the Speaker are of the APC since no. PDP member is contesting for the position. constitution. Consequently, we demanded that the process be delayed with atleast 24 hours to enable us to prepare and mobilise our members After raising these objections, the national chairman Chief Oyegun did not respond to any of the points raised
We should therefore be allowed to sort it out among ourselves on Tuesday.

Thirdly, if we were coming for election we ought to have been notified well ahead. We therefore view this as an ambush, manipulative and indicative of the fact that the party leadership came with a predetermined position which was skewed to favour Hon Gbajabiamila.

Fourthly, we also informed the APC leadership that the process they were about doing contrary to the provisions of the party’s constitution which did not prescribe that a primary election be conducted for the Speakership, contrary to the provisions of the House Standing Orders and above all, contrary to the provisions of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The next Speaker of the House should be allowed to be elected in tandem with the constitution. Consequently, we demanded that the process be delayed with atleast 24 hours to enable us to prepare and mobilise our members After raising these objections, the national chairman Chief Oyegun did not respond to any of the points raised initially, the chairman agreed to halt the process but one hour later the National Vice Chairman North Senator Lawal Shuaibu came up and said the process must go on whether we like it or not. We had no option than to walkout of the hall and address the press The election of the House Speaker is not an exclusivity of the APC but include all members from all political parties.

Our position is that we are not a party to what they did and we maintain that the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives Cannot be conducted outside the chamber of the House and we are ready to participate in that process on Tuesday 9th June, 2015.

This is going the way of Mulika-Tanbuwa of 2011 but I doubt Dogaya will ever have his way with Jangaba Borgu

Instead of u to accept d position of deputy speaker jeje,u dey do agidi,u will lose both position on dat day

Dogara, do the needful and port to PDP...lol

Hmmm

Dogara is the next speaker, nothing to worry about.

We are not deceived by Gbaja's refrain of "I am not Tinubu's candidate."

Lalasticlala, please strike a balance on the front page with this Dogara's rejection of the mock polls.

Sai Dogara!

He shouldn't worry PDP will be his backup

APC should try not to make the same mistakes PDP made

I support Dogara

Gbese re ooo

If APC isn't careful, they might just be doing PDP a favour. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Dogara is just disturbing himself...

You can't win a Gbajabiamila in the House na, even some PDP goons from my SouthEastern zone love Gbajabiamila biko....

Dogara wait till 2019

This is just the beginning of the end for APC!

chai? luk at them....

mogentle:
Dogara, do the needful and port to PDP...lol

...porting to pdp in this dispensation is like jumping into lagoon...

walemoney007:

And if APC don't put its house together, Dogara won't only lose but APC will be the biggest loser because PDP can pull a stunt on that day.

Tanoids cannot stop our progress walahi
