Hope it ends well. Not easy reconciling entrenched political interests. May the best man win - I like that Gbajabiamila guy, though.
The guy that was disbarred by the Georgia Bar Association for stealing clients' money?

APC the civilized party

What makes them civilized? Because of the shame primary after general election? They re only afraid of dieing the same way they killed the innocent. If dogara has 218-160 i.e. 58+ 159 from pdp, what they feared wil still happen.

How I wish they won't loose their head and allow personal sentiment to over rule common sense and party principles....

These people are just playing into the hands of the opposition with what is happening
.

Our politicians are mostly of same breed. Nothing like playing into the hands of opposition. They are just being themselves: self-centred, corrupt and don't care about the masses.
The reason they fight for these principal officers positions is because of huge money to be made (extracted) from heads of MDAs to approve their funding ad other kickbacks.

there is no difference between apc and pdp. The change slogan was just used to foool dull thinking nigerians , nothing changes . Govs will keep stealing and there is nothing anyone can do about it ,infact majority of apc top bigwigs who won elections now are former pdp . So where is the change ?

Once a candidate emerge, they would settle themselves. Am sure PMB go enter the matter and Dogari would have no option than to step aside. Going against Buhari here in the north is political suicide.

If they like let them mess up, pdp is watching them closely. They should better bury their egos and let the right person emerge.

How United State Speaker is Selected

The House of Representatives elects the Speaker of the House on
the first day of every new Congress and in the event of the death
or resignation of an incumbent Speaker. The Clerk of the House
of Representatives requests nominations: there are normally two,
one from each major party (each party having previously met to
decide on its nominee). The Clerk then calls the roll of the
Representatives-elect, each Representative-elect indicating the
surname of the candidate he or she is ing.
Representatives-elect are not restricted to voting for one of the
nominated candidates and may vote for any person, even for
someone who is not a member (or member-elect) of the House at
all. They may also abstain by voting "present". [3]

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Speaker_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives

Note that it is stated that the political parties made the decision of
who to contest ahead of time. And each party only present one
person.

APC is doing the right thing

Wheb did the US constitution or way of practise become our standard. The speaker is not that of APC but of the house of representatives. Let the party follow the example of the President. Hands off
