............Whips up anti-Tinubu sentiment S’East group s Gbajabiamila

Gboyega Akinsanmi in Lagos and Benjamin Nworie in Abakaliki



The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reviewed its strategies to frustrate the emergence of the Senate Leader, Senator Ahmed Lawan and his House of Representatives counterpart, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila respectively as the Senate President and Speaker of the House in the ninth National Assembly.

However, the South East Consultative Initiative (SECI) has equally backed the candidature of Gbajabiamila for the speakership contest less than 48 hours the faction of Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El Rufai withdrew its for the House Leader.

Different sources disclosed the PDP’s resolve to disrupt the plan of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to impose the leadership of the National Assembly, noting that its latest strategy was to whip up sentiments against the APC National Leader, Senator Bola Tinubu.

Just after the general election, the APC National Working Committee (NWC) had endorsed Lawan for the Senate presidency and Gbajabiamila for the House of Representatives speakership in the ninth National Assembly, a position the presidency threw its behind.

However, the PDP and an APC faction opposed the nomination of Lawan and Gbajabiamila for the National Assembly leadership. While the former warned against undermining the independence of the National Assembly, the latter rejected the party’s position, citing Tinubu’s undue influence.

But with the rising for the APC candidates, a lawmaker disclosed that the opposition party “has changed strategies to frustrate the emergence of Lawan and Gbajabiamila.”

The lawmaker explained that the APC leader “is the main driver of the zoning of the positions to these two ranking lawmakers. Already, the social media is awash with such sentiments projecting Tinubu as greedy having singly installed the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and now wants to install the leaders of the National Assembly.”

Among the flyers being circulated on the social media is one that has Osinbajo’s photograph atop the image of President Muhammadu Buhari and flanked by Lawan on the left and Gbajabiamila on the right.

The photograph was captioned “The shape of New Nigeria.” Beneath the names of all these leaders on the flyers are inscribed “TINUBU’ except for President Buhari.

Another lawmaker explained that the idea was “to cause disaffection among the populace by presenting the endorsed candidates as lackeys of one man who has eyes set for 2023.

“Expect a heightening anti Tinubu social media blitz from this week” a ranking Senator who spoke on condition of anonymity told this paper last week.

“Besides, cartoons, fliers and commentaries will flood all known social media platforms pillorying the erstwhile Governor of Lagos and a pillar in the formation of APC and er of Buhari.

However, Gbajabiamila’s candidature saturday received major boost when a South-east group threw its weight behind his quest to contest the speakership race in the ninth National Assembly.

In a statement by its National President, Mr. Nnaji Paschal and Secretary, Dr. Offia Saturday, the group dissociated itself from the speakership ambition of Hon. Emeka Nwajiuba and other contestants from the South-east.

The statement said though Nwajiuba defeated Chike Okafor to clinch the Ehimembano/Ihitte Uboma/Obowo/Okigwe South Federal Constituency seat, he was never a member of the ruling APC.

It said Nwajiuba was not even from the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) but from the Accord Party, thereby describing Gbajabiamila as a team player and selfless politician with the requisite knowledge to pilot the affairs of the ninth House of Representatives.

The statement said the humane and selfless way he took his failed bid for the plum job in 2015 “is still fresh in our minds. He humbled himself to take the House Leader position and worked harmoniously with Speaker Yakubu Dogara and by so doing reunited the House.

“We feel that having made such sacrifice for the interest of peace and development of the National Assembly and the country at large, it is now time for his colleagues to reward him for his sacrifices by electing him to lead them”

“It has been 16 years since he was last in the house, his knowledge of the inner workings of the house as regards lawmaking and management of the house will be at best minimal and at the other extreme archaic and outdated.

“The art of lawmaking like other facets of human endeavor is ever evolving and one fears that Nwajiuba may not be in tune with the recent techniques and innovations in lawmaking even though he may be a ranking member,” the statement said.

On the other hand, the statement attested that Gbajabiamila “is an institution when it comes to experience in the National Assembly, having been part of the leadership of the eighth House of Representatives.”

Politics is there game let them play, our game its finding clients the ideal property for their home or business place around Lagos

Another day, another anti-Tinubu story. No matter what they say or do, Lawan and Gbajabiamila will emerged as Senate president and speaker of House of Representatives respectively.

Nice, stop Tinubu at all cost. How can one greedy & ugly bat look alike man hold Nigeria to ransom, he made up most of the cabinet, brought the lifeless Buhari, Educated but illiterate Osibanjo, now trying to get hold of the house of green and red chambers.
I solely hold Tinubu responsible for the failures of this regime cos he has a big hand in it's running, his 2023 presidential plan isn't gonna be better cos it's same him who has been running the regime now and will still run it then.
Say NO to Tinubu &see Nigeria working again

I just have to say PDP is d most useless party on earth. Period.

Game of thrones, but Saraki treatment.

Good morning everyone the hotel I work with in lekki is hiring chefs and the need 6 chefs. If u know u are a qualified chef with experience especially in breakfast and u are interested in the position, u can send out ur CV to this email [email protected], act fast the interview is coming up this week, the early bird gets the juiciest fruits. CHEERS and Good luck to all those interested.

I foreseen PDP hijacking the NASS because of the internal and external political tussle of some APC political immaturity


their fear is nothing but because of one man? Tinubu


the truth be say, if Lawan and Gbaja grace that top sit then Tinubu is already at the helm of national politics and this would put more power in his hand ahead of 2023 even though his candidacy might cost APC to loose out but his kingmaker extension to settle with one candidate of his choice would pull a stunt of surprise in national level


Tinubu is a man I respect a lot, why? because of his few words though he's a crook like other politicians

I'm happy Nigerians are seeing Pdp for the evil the worthless party truly represents.

But Pdp would always come second.

The NASS should be careful in choosing its leaders, if one gets in through the power of Godfathers, then it would be believed that, the particular Godfather is greater than NASS itself...

It would reduce the influence of individual NASS while elevating Godfatherism.

It's bad enough the Judiciary has lost it, The NASS is the only standing independent arm, losing this we can aswell go into a one party system.

Blame Tinubu for everything even your father's inability to bear sensible children.

You're an Igbo man. Look at Igboland and look at where Tinubu controls. Just look and see the difference. Every December, Igbos carry food to Igboland as if there is famine there and run out of Igboland in January as if there is war there.

If Igboland had a politician with half the grit and sagacity of Tinubu, maybe Igbos would have a political future and Igboland would have developed more than this.

Igbos need to get together and do something about the future of Igboland and stop fighting everyone.

Buhari don get sense, he will rather toll in tinubu way, or allowed to be frustrated in the case of saraki/dogara

Ok
