The House of
Representatives election for Speaker has just ended, with Yakubu Dogora
(Tafawa Balewa/ Bogoro, Bauchi constituency), defeating Femi
Gbajabiamila (Surelere, Lagos constituency).
The election followed a controversial election in the Upper House in
which Senator Bukola Saraki of Kwara Central Senatorial District emerged
Senate President as he appeared to go into business for himself in
cooperation with the Peoples Democratic Party. Other members of his
party, the All Progressives Congress were holding a “peace meeting”
elsewhere at the time, and were outflanked.
In what appeared to be a pre-planned manoeuvre, Saraki was immediately sworn-in as the President of the 8th Senate.
