A former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, on Sunday, asked the Peoples Democratic Party members in the House of Representative to vote for Femi Gbajabiamila as the Speaker of the House.

Gbajabiamila, on Saturday, emerged the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the 8th Assembly.

Gbajabiamila, who represents Surulere I state constituency, polled 154 votes out of 182 votes to beat Yakubu Dogara in a primary conducted by the APC in Abuja on Saturday.

Fani-Kayode , who was the Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation in the 2015 general election, expressed delight that Gbajabiamila emerged as the consensus candidate on his official Twitter page on Sunday.

He said, ” I am glad that Femi Gbajabiamila has emerged as the APC consensus canddiate for Speaker of the House. I urge the PDP members to vote for him.”

Where does FFK stand? PDP have better prospect with Hon Yakubu Gogara as Speaker just like APC when Tambawal was the Speaker. This is pure politics and there is no point to form neutral herer. I urge PDP legislators to disregard FFK and vote Hon Yakubu Dogara. Is it not good for PDP to emerge as Deputy Speaker? Is it not good for PDP and APC to share the committees in the ratio of 50:50? Is it not good for PDP to crack the APC and put them to disarray? Is it not good to upstage Tinubu from the House? Is it not good to be the defacto leadin party in the house even with a minority status? Wjat are we to gain from Gbaja?
Pdp lawmakers should queue behind Hon Dogara Yakubu
Yakubu For Speaker

DropShot:
I read a thread by a NL "political analyst " where he ssid all PDP lawmakers and senators will vote for Dogara and Saraki so that PDP can control the houses thru the backdoor.

Where is that boy with mouth diarrhea? Here is his fellow diarrhea sufferer talking opposite of his strategy and me be think say dem don agree in their meeting to vote against APC choices before ni.

Caseless:
That this guy has made many senseless comments in the past , I don't want to see sense in whatever he says anymore.



Maybe he's looking for who to run to and beg when he goes broke again.
