The House of Representatives has set up a 7-member
Conference Committee on the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi
Gbajabiamila, made the announcement during plenary in Abuja on Tuesday.
Gbajabiamila said the conference committee would work with
that of the Senate on the electoral Act to achieve concurrence.
Recall that the members are; Akeem Adeyemi as the Chairman,
James Faleke, Blessing Onuh, Aisha Dukku, Unyime Idem, Chris Azubogu and
Abdullahi Kalambaine.
Meanwhile, Rep. Godday Odagboyi, who was elected on the
platform of Labour Party, LP, from Benue State, has officially defected to the
All Progressives Congress (APC) on the floor of the House.
Reading the letter of his defection, Speaker, Gbajabiamila,
said Odagboyi’s defection was due to a crisis in the party.
Gbajabiamila went ahead to appreciate the Minister of
Special Duty, Mr Gorge Akume, the former Governor of Benue State and the Acting
National Chairman of the APC, Mai Mala Buni.
He, however, asked the minority leader, Ndudi Elumelu if he
had any objection to his defection, but there was no objection.
