A leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the North-West, has said that the zone's candidate in the race for the Speaker, House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, will step down for the South-West candidate, Femi Gbajabiamila.
The chieftain, who is also a ranking senator-elect, told correspondents in Abuja on Sunday that the party leaders, in a bid to ensure that the South-West produce the Speaker, had agreed to convince Jibrin to run as deputy to Gbajabiamila.
We observed that the figure of both zones in the House of Representatives is almost half of the entire population of the lawmakers in the lower chamber.
The senator, who preferred anonymity, said that both Gbajabiamila and Jibrin would address a joint news conference at the Oyo/Osun Hall at the Transcorp Hotel in Abuja on Monday (today) by 11.00am.
He said, “With this development, the APC has effectively resolved the issue of Speaker and Deputy Speaker respectively in the House of Representatives. It is now left for it to resolve the Senate issue.
“The calculation is that if the North-East emerges as Senate President, and the South-West gets the Speaker, no aspirant from the North-East can emerge Deputy Speaker. It will automatically go to the North-West.”
When contacted, Jibrin said, “I am ready to abide by the decision of the party in the interest of Nigeria.”
