On Wednesday, the new speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, presided over the House for its first sitting since its inauguration.

It was a day of calm after the rowdy, tension-soaked session on Tuesday when Dogara defeated the preferred candidate of the APC, Femi Gbajabiamila.

Speaker Dogara set up the Selection committee which is expected to appoint members into various committees of the House. He will head the committee.

Dogara also set up a committee to look into the welfare of members and a third committee to review the Standing Orders of the House.

Unlike the Senate where the losing team in Tuesday’s election said today that it will challenge the victory of Bukola Saraki as senate president; the case was different in the House of Representatives.

Femi Gbajabiamila, who contested and lost the speakership contest to Dogara, congratulated the speaker for the second time.

Gbajabiamila had shortly after the results were declared on Tuesday, walked up to Dogara, embraced and shook hands with him.

Once again on Wednesday, he stood up on the floor and specially recognised Dogara as the speaker by congratulating him again.

The House has been adjourned till June 23.

He should continue with the minority leader, joor.

Nice

About time. Let's move on.

Good! Beside I don't have problem with the Speaker but Saraki?

He has no other choice.

The success of the APC in the lower house, rest on the shoulders of Gbajabiamila. May God help me not to labour for a course and someone else will come and reap it.

Majority leader is sure though.

He has no choice

How can he be minority leader when APC are the majority in the house. Na wa o

Way to go after the initial shock. Nigeria is bigger than a single individual.

But saraki and dogara should be very cautious what they do. Tinubu and his boys are waiting for payback time

No doubt about the last part of your post, I think he will function well as a majority leader...

Saraki and dogara will sure get what they deserve later, but for now they should focus on moving nigeria forward...

This is a step in the right direction. At times, the best doesn't always win.

Gbaja seems to have seen the handwriting on the wall. He will be compensated with a juicy committee chairmanship post.

I share your opinion too.

One thing I know is that the house leadership, both upper and lower are not loved by the masses.
