With this move the APC as a party won't be producing any other person to contest the office of Speaker of the House aside Gbajabiamila unless of course he withdraws on personal grounds. The straw poll for Senate President starts by 8pm tonight at same venue. Watch out for the dog fight between Lawan and Saraki. |

[color=#990000][/color]How United State Speaker is Selected The House of Representatives elects the Speaker of the House on the first day of every new Congress and in the event of the death or resignation of an incumbent Speaker. The Clerk of the House of Representatives requests nominations: there are normally two, one from each major party (each party having previously met to decide on its nominee). The Clerk then calls the roll of the Representatives-elect, each Representative-elect indicating the surname of the candidate he or she is supporting. Representatives-elect are not restricted to voting for one of the nominated candidates and may vote for any person, even for someone who is not a member (or member-elect) of the House at all. They may also abstain by voting "present". [3] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Speaker_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives Note that it is stated that the political parties made the decision of who to contest ahead of time. And each party only present one person. APC is doing the right thing |
