APC conducts mock election to pick candidate for House of Reps Speakership

APC conducts mock election to pick candidate for House of Reps Speakership

bySani Tukur
June 6, 2015
1 min read

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, is currently holding an election to select who will be nominated as the party’s candidate for the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The election is holding at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

Femi Gbajabiamila is expected to pick the ticket after his main rival, Dogara Yakubu, stormed out of the venue with his supporters alleging irregularities.

PREMIUM TIMES gathered that the Consolidation Group, comprising members loyal to Mr. Dogara would also carry out a parallel primary at a different venue.

We cannot confirm if the rival election is taking place presently.

However, the spokesperson of the APC, Lai Mohammed, informed us that the party is just trying to be democratic by allowing the members select their speaker on their own.

“Out of 218 members, 160 are already here and minority cannot hold majority to ransom,” he said.

On why Mr. Dogara and his group left, Mr. Mohammed said the argument of the group was that they were not given notice of election.

The party is expected to carry out the same nomination for the Senate. It is not clear yet whether that vote will hold Saturday.

Details later.
