The National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, (APC) Chief John
Oyegun has declared Mr. Femi
Gbajabiamila as the candidate to
represent the party in the election for
the seat of Speaker of Nigeria's House
of Representatives.
Mr. Gbajabiamila emerged winner with
154 votes against his opponent, Mr.
Yakubu Dogara who scored 3 votes.
The election which was held at the
International Conference Centre in Abuja
was organised by the National Working
Committee of APC and had 183 APC
House of Representatives Members elect
present out of the 209
members, with 161 votes cast.
While Mr. Gbajabiamila won the ticket,
Mr. Dogara and some of his supporters
boycott the election.
A member of the House, Mr. Jibrin
AbdulMumin who is also a supporter of
Mr. Dogara said he would not participate
in the election because it was impromptu
therefore there was no time to prepare.
Also, Mr. Muhammed Mungonu emerged
as the sole candidate to represent APC
for the position of Deputy Speaker of the
House.
National Leaders of the party have been
engaged in politicking and discussions in
the past weeks to arrive at a concensus
candidate to run for Speaker of the
House but could not arrive at an
agreement hence the election.
Nigeria's National Assembly is to resume
plenary on Tuesday, June 9 and would
elect leaders that would lead the Senate
and House of Representatives for the
next 4 years.
