Below are pictures from the signing of endorsement register by members-elect supporting Honorable Femi Gbajabiamila for Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives.
Gbajabiamila will be deputized by Hon. Idris Wase if they eventually win the election for Speaker of the 9th Assembly.
The incoming lawmakers gathered to make their support for Gbajabiamila known as they signed the register. However, Hon. John Dyegh, who is also running for Speaker of the 9th Assembly, is still in challenge as he stated recently that he’s not stepping down for Gbajabiamila.
“I am still strongly in the race; I do not have any reason to step down for anybody and by the grace of God, I am taking it to the end.
“I am not making a show of it; it is not about parading numbers.
“For me, it is like evangelism, one-on-one engagement with colleagues and what members decide at the end of the day on the floor is what will be.’’ the APC lawmaker said.
Meanwhile, another aspirant for the speakership, Mrs Nkeiruka Onyejiocha, has stepped down for Gbajabiamila. She joined other aspirants, Messrs Buba Yakubu, Aliyu Betara, and Abdulrazak Namdas in stepping down.
