A member of the House of
Representative, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has said he regrets letting Femi
Ghabjabiamila down in his ill-fated speakership bid in 2015.
Jibrin stated this at a press
briefing held by the Gbajabiamila/Wase Speakership Campaign Council, in Abuja
on Wednesday.
He, however, said he has since
repented and rejoined forces with the Lagos lawmaker who is currently seeking
to lead the House of Representatives in the ninth National Assembly.
He said, “I want to say that we,
including myself, let Femi down in 2015. Yes, I was among those who let him
down at the last minute but I have since repented.
“By God’s grace, by June 11, Femi
and Wase would become the Speaker and Deputy Speaker respectively, especially
as Yakubu Dogara ceases to be Speaker after tomorrow, Thursday, June 6,” Jibrin
said.
Earlier, he decried the “campaign
of calumny” being mounted by some disgruntled lawmakers against Gbajabiamila’s
bid.
He said the Lagos lawmakers had
never been convicted anywhere, either in Nigeria or elsewhere.
