Dogara who was backed by PDP members of the house, scored 182 above Gbajabiamila’s 174 votes. Dogara represents Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa-Balewa Federal constituency of Bauchi State.
“Senator Bukola and Hon. Dogara are not the candidates of the APC and a majority of its National Assembly members-elect for the positions of Senate President and House Speaker.”
The party duly met and conducted a straw poll and clear candidates emerged for the posts of Senate President, Deputy Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, supported by a majority of all Senators-elect and members-elect of the House of Representatives.
All National Assembly members-elect who emerged on the platform of the party are bound by that decision.
“There can be no higher level of treachery, disloyalty and insincerity within any party,” the party said, vowing to resolve the matter using all constitutional and legal means available to it.
Meanwhile, the APC has asked all its loyal senators-elect to please report to the Senate to be sworn-in in order to discharge their constitutional duties.Source: http://thesummary.com.ng/index.php/political-news/item/1327-breaking-dogara-emerges-speaker-house-of-reps-floors-apc-anointed-candidate-gbajabiamila
