***•PDP gets 20 chairmanship, APC 80


Immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, and opponents of the incumbent speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, were among those that lost out as heads of the house standing committees were named yesterday.

Among those named as chairmen and deputy chairmen of Grade A committees are known allies of the speaker, especially from Lagos, Kano and Katsina states.

A breakdown of the list indicates that the All Progressives Congress (APC) got a total of 80 committee chairmen and 63 deputy chairmen, while the major opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) got 20 and 30 deputy chairmen, while the remaining chairmanship and deputy chairmanship positions were shared by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Action Alliance( AA) and Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

During the campaign for the speakership, Gbajabiamila promised to cede 60 committee chairmanship and deputy chairmanship to the PDP lawmakers, if they support him to emerge as speaker.

But the PDP endorsed his opponent, Umar Bago, ahead of the contest. However, a few PDP members voted for the speaker despite the party’s support for a different candidate.

Surprisingly, the chairmanship of the House Committees Petroleum ( Upstream) and Petroleum (Downstream), which were occupied by Victor Nwokolo and Joseph Akinlaja, from Delta and Ondo state respectively, in the eight assembly were given to Sakin Ader and Mahmud Abdulahi Gaya. Ader and Gaya, who are both from the APC hails from Sokoto and Kano states respectively.

Also, the Director General of the Femi Gbajabiamila Campaign Organisation, Abdulmumin Jibrin did not get any committee chairmanship. Jibrin was the chairman of the Appropriations Committee in the first year of the eight assembly, before he fell out with former speaker, Yakubu Dogara.

Prior to the announcement of the list of committee chairmen, Gbajabiamila appealed to anyone, who might feel offended with the composition to forgive him..

Immediately after the announcement, lawmakers gathered in clusters, apparently to discuss the development. Also, while some walked up to the dais to confer with the speaker, others quietly walked out of the chamber.

Those named as committee chairmen include the deputy speaker, Ahmed Wase, Constitution Review; Muktar Betara , Appropriations; Abdulrasak Namdas, Army; Benjamin Kalu, Media and Public Affairs; Babajimi Benson, Defense; while Umaru Bago, who contested against Gbajabiamila for the speakership position was named as the chairman, House Committee Cooperation and Integration in Africa.

Other committee chairmen are Khadijah Bukar Ibrahim, North East Development Commission (NEDC) and Julius Ihonvbere, Basic Education; James Faleke, Finance; Wale Raji, House Services; Ibrahim Babangida, Capital Markets and Institutions; Garba Datti, Ports and Barbour; Abdulahi Garba, Federal Capital Territory ( FCT) among others.

PDP lawmakers appointed as committee chairmen include: Wole Oke, Public Accounts Committee ( PAC); Lynda Ikpeazu , Maritime, Safety and Education; Nicholas Mutu, Gas Resources, Darlington Nwokocha Insurance.

Also, Onofiok Luke, a former Speaker of Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, is to head Committee on Federal Judiciary. Victor Nwokolo is heading Committee on Banking and Currency, while Beni Lar retained the chairmanship of Science and Technology.

However, Kingsley Chinda and Chukwuma Onyema, who are claimants to the position of minority leader and deputy minority leader respectively, were among PDP members, who did not get committee chairmanship.

While Chinda was the chairman, Public Accounts Committee ( PAC) in the eight assembly, Onyema was the deputy minority leader.

Similarly, another PDP strong member, Tajudeen Yusuf, did not get any committee chairmanship.

Meanwhile, the House , yesterday, adjourned plenary for its annual vacation to resume on September 17, 2019.

Motherfuckers

Dogara has maintained a platform from which he could spring to another level politically committee chairmanship or not.

How the mighty are falling

Its always been about interests. Whose interest is been represented. Interests decides political actions and are the heart of political agitations.

But a critical question is "whose interest are you representing on planet earth?". It would make for proper understanding that God wants you to represent His interests on planet earth. It has Always been His plan for you to be a member of the Divine family. And for this reason He sent His son Jesus Christ, that if you will believe that God raised Him from the dead and confess Him as Lord over your life, then you are welcome into the family.

Accept Jesus into your life today. The benefits are innumerable.

Shalom

The last time I checked my time last spent online I saw 26 days how come am seeing 2hrs now?

I don't know why you guys derive so much fun in making a jest of the man.

Sometimes, you stupidly do that.

FYI, Rochas is a senator not a rep.

There's a difference.

Biting the same fingers that fed you is not only dangerous but senseless

Onofiok Luke is a goal!!! Meanwhile, that my brother up there that is whining over hours spent online, is there a price attached to it?

He would have "outrightly" rejected it if he was named as any committee chairman. That's backwardness

Booked
