Hon. Gbajabimila & Hon. Wase Agrees To Run Together As Speaker And Deputy

The campaign organisations of the House of Representatives Leader Femi Gbajabiamila and Mohammed Idris Wase collapsed into one last night. Gbajabiamila (Surulere Federal Constituency, Lagos) and Wase (Wase Federal Constituency, Plateau), were, until the duo joined forces, jostling for the House of Representatives Speaker’s seat. Both camps agreed to work together with Gbajabiamila as Speaker and Wase as Deputy Speaker in the Ninth Assembly. The groups met at Trasncorp Hotel, Abuja.
        Also yesterday, the Speakership drive of Gbajabiamila got a boost yesterday as 178 new members-elect endorsed his ambition. His spokesman, Olanrewaju Smart, said the lawmakers gathered to do the proclamation at the New Chelsea Hotel in Abuja. He said the lawmakers were drawn from various political parties. A member-elect, Onofiok Luke, who is the Akwa-Ibom State House of Assembly Speaker, spoke for the lawmakers. He said they were endorsing Gbajabiamila because of his sterling qualities and the fact that he is the most qualified. Luke said: “I am the Speaker of Akwa-Ibom State and here with me are newly elected members of the House of Representatives and this is a conglomeration of people of different parties. I am of the PDP. We have members of the APC
