Member-elect for Onitcha
North/Onitcha South federal constituency of Anambra State under the umbrella of
the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Lynda Chuba Ikpeazu, at the floor of
the House of Representatives, seconded the nomination of Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila
as the Speaker of the 9th House.
This was brazenly in total
disagreement with the decision of her party, the PDP, which had in the early
hours of Tuesday, concluded on the aspiration of Hon. Umar Bago.
At the ongoing inauguration of
the 9th National Assembly, a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress
(APC) elected to represent Bebeji/Kiru federal constituency, Hon. Jubril
Abdulmumini, had nominated Gbajabiamila as Speaker.
Also nominated for the
speakership position is Hon. Bago, representing Chanchagi federal constituency
of Niger State.
Bago was nominated by Hon. Yunusa
Ahmad Abubakar representing Yamaltu/Deba federal constituency of Gombe state
and was seconded by Hon. Mark Gbila representing Gwer East/Gwer West federal
constituency of Benue State.
The duo said they were nominating
Bago based on the spirit of equity, fairness and justice as enshrined in the
constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Both Gbajabiamila and Bago
accepted their nominations to run for speakership.
Voting, therefore, commenced at
exactly 3.43pm, using a secret ballot system.
