Lawmaker-elect for Darazo/Ganjuwa
Federal Constituency of Bauchi State, Mansur Manu Soro, has expressed optimism
that Femi Gbajabiamila will emerge the Speaker of the House of Representatives
in the ninth National Assembly unopposed.
Gbajabiamila,
is a major contender in the race for the exalted office of the Speaker. He has
adopted Ahmed Wase, a member from Plateau State as his running mate.
However, addressing reporters
yesterday in Bauchi, the state capital, Manu Soro said: “You know the House
Standing Order provides that the election of the Speaker and deputy should take
precedence over any other business on the day of inauguration.
“I can confidently tell you that
nearly two-thirds of us are voting for Femi and Wase as Speaker and Deputy
Speaker on June 11.
“By law, we need a minimum of
just 181 members to succeed but with the bi-partisan approach the campaign has
adopted, we comfortably have far more than that.
“You may be surprised to see Femi
Gbajabiamila become the Speaker unopposed because he is aggressively taking the
campaign to the doorstep of only one aspirant still in the race. Quite a number
of aspirants have stepped down for him.”
