A member of the House of
Representatives, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, on Friday met briefly with
President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
It will be recalled that Gbajabiamila is
at the centre of the leadership crisis rocking the House. He was the
preferred choice of the leadership of the All Progressives Congress for
the position of the Speaker ahead of the election of the leaders of the
8th National Assembly.
Yakubu Dogara, however emerged the Speaker after he defied the party’s leadership to contest the election against Gbajabiamila.
Efforts
by the party’s leadership to also ensure that Gbajabiamia emerges the
House Leader is currently not going down well with the Dogara group.
Friday’s meeting was the second Gbajabiamila would be having with Buhari.
Unlike the first one during which the
President met with the lawmaker and about 29 of his colleagues loyal to
him, only Gbajabiamila visited Buhari on Friday.
After his brief meeting with the
President, the lawmaker refused to field questions from journalists. He
said he was in a hurry “to see the Chairman” of the party, John
Odigie-Oyegun.
