Gbajabiamila Is On Course To Become Speaker - Tunji-ojo, Reps-elect Chairman by jadesoletee(op): 4:53pm On May 21, 2019
Chairman of the First Timers Forum in the soon to be inaugurated 9th House of Representatives, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has described the report of adoption of Hon. Umaru Bago by 156 Reps-elect as untrue and a mere wishful thinking. Tunji-Ojo said he could confidently assert that absolute loyalty of all the 203 'first timers' in the House to the speakership ambition of Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila is never in doubt.

Tunji-Ojo said that all the 203 elected 'first timers' in the House of Representatives would not only strive for the emergence of Gbajabiamila, but would also insist on an open ballot for the election of presiding officers of the 9th National Assembly in June.

Tunji-Ojo added, "We are seriously agitating for open ballot. Our people should also be able to know our position on any national issue. It is ideal for the beauty of democracy and for the preservation of the hallowed chamber, the open ballot should be given a place of priority in our process.”

Tunji-Ojo also described the claim of the Bago's camp as refreshing comedy that could only be dignified with hearty laughter. He said, "As the Chairman of First Timers Forum, I can confidently assure that all our 203 members are with Hon. Gbajabiamila. We have our records, strategy and obtained loyal commitment from members. With all these, I am overly confident that Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila is very much on course to become the Speaker of the 9th House".

It will be recalled that 156 Representatives elect were reported to have declared support for the member representing Chanchanga Federal Constituency of Niger State, Honourable Umaru Mohammed Bago to become Speaker of the 9th House. The meeting where the endorsement took place was said to have been held at a location in Gwarimpa, Abuja early on Saturday, May 18.

Meanwhile, the report of rising support for Hon. Bago has been dismissed by the camp of Hon. Gbajabiamila who is the preferred candidate of the leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC). Moreso, the Gbajabiamila's camp had said that nothing concrete was realistically on ground in the opposition camp to stop the member representing Surulere Federal Constituency of Lagos State from becoming the Speaker of the 9th House.

"Politics of who becomes the next Speaker of the House is favourably titling towards the direction of the House Leader, Hon. Gbajabiamila. Although, we are not leaving anything to chance and we will continue to reach out to those that are yet to join our camp. Be as it may, this for us, is a task that must be achieved", said Tunji-Ojo.

There are lots of issues facing the country than this trivial things, no economic blue print to liberate the people and bring them out of poverty, just politics everyday. God punish every politician holding Nigeria to ransom for their selfish ambitions.

The leadership of the APC does not seem to have faith in their members-elect within the lower house, that is why they are calling for open ballot. The know a great number of their members are saboteurs

Better tell Gbajabiamila or what is his name not to dance to faded tunes from the untruthful drummers in Nigeria Politics.

Thank you.

They want to coerce them into voting their Gbaja with open ballot. Gbaja is a regular customer, customer dada ni, he will loose again as usual.

Sound and experienced in stealing clients' money.
That is why he was barred from legal practice in America.

Then why has he been bribing lawmakers with smartphones and fancy irrelevant trips? If he is not a desperate man and actually sound?


His previous statements running up to the last elections have also been shallow and desperate.
