Former Minister of Aviation and
chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has backed the All Progressives
Congress, APC, on its choice of Femi Gbajabiamila for the Speaker of the ninth
House of Representatives.
Fani-Kayode, who expressed his
reservations in the way the Lagos-born politician had allegedly emphasised his
Muslim religion and how he had conducted his campaign, notwithstanding,
maintained that Gbajabiamila deserved to occupy the position.
In a series of tweets on Sunday,
the former Minister said, “I don’t like @femigbaja’s @OfficialAPCNg or the way
he conducted aspects of his campaign or the way he emphasised his Muslim faith
and bowed before a northern Muslim cleric.
“However I STILL believe that he
deserves to be elected Speaker of the House and I support his candidacy.
“I have known him for 40 years
and I assure you that he is NOT a criminal, he has NOT been convicted of
anything in America, he is his own man, he is not a stooge, he is cerebal, he
is not a coward, he is tough and he loves his wife, family and country deeply
and passionately.
“Besides, Lagos state and his
Surulere constituency, deserve to have the position of Speaker after all these
years.
“I urge all those in the House of
Reps from both @OfficialPDPNig and @OfficialAPCNg to vote for @femigbaja on
Tuesday. Godspeed Femo! I wish you well!”
