Speakership : Gbajabiamila debunks speculations, reiterates adherence to party’s interest.

The Speaker of the House of representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has debunked insinuations that he was working against the emergence of his deputy, Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase as the Speaker of the 10th House.

Gbajabiamila was apparently reacting to some media speculations which had reported that he was against his Deputy. According to him, he has not endorsed any aspirant and is subject to the decision of the party having been a beneficiary of APC zoning in the past.

Gbajabiamila on his verified Twitter handle stated : ”Today, April 13, 2023, a national daily carried a cover story in which it reported that I was against the aspiration of my deputy, Rt. Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase, and some other aspirants to the office of Speaker in the 10th House. I have not declared support for any of my colleagues who have declared their interest. I have made my position abundantly clear that there is a need to wait for the Party to complete its zoning exercise as I cannot work against my Party’s interest and position. I am a product of APC’s zoning in 2019, and I shall adhere to that any time the party comes up with its arrangement. Anyone/media peddling rumors of my endorsement of any of the aspirants should desist forthwith.
