NASS Crisis: Buhari, Gbajabiamila Meet Again

A member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, on Friday met briefly with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

It will be recalled that Gbajabiamila is at the centre of the leadership crisis rocking the House. He was the preferred choice of the leadership of the All Progressives Congress for the position of the Speaker ahead of the election of the leaders of the 8th National Assembly.

Yakubu Dogara, however emerged the Speaker after he defied the party’s leadership to contest the election against Gbajabiamila.

Efforts by the party’s leadership to also ensure that Gbajabiamia emerges the House Leader is currently not going down well with the Dogara group.

Friday’s meeting was the second Gbajabiamila would be having with Buhari.

Unlike the first one during which the President met with the lawmaker and about 29 of his colleagues loyal to him, only Gbajabiamila visited Buhari on Friday.

After his brief meeting with the President, the lawmaker refused to field questions from journalists. He said he was in a hurry “to see the Chairman” of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun.
