Buhari, Tinubu, Oshiomhole & Gbajabiamila. |
In what appears as the last major push for the actualization of
the desperate bid to install his stooge as Speaker of the House of
Representatives, All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Senator Bola
Tinubu, has successfully arranged a meeting of APC returning and elected
members of the House of Representatives with President Muhammadu Buhari for
Tuesday.
Inspite of the that the South-West geopolitical zone which has already secured
the Vice President’s position, the “zone” that came fourth by the number of
votes from geopolitical for the APC is also being pushed for “speakership” as
against the North Central geopolitical zone that came third and has never
produced leadership of the House of Representatives in 20years.
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu wants his stooge, Femi Gbajabiamila as
Speaker of the House of Representatives by all means and the APC’s National
Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, who is an ally of Tinubu is at the forefront of the
plot to place the control of the National Assembly in his hands.
Plot to secure what was described as “Baba’s endorsement” so as
to shut out the North Central zone that is agitating for the Speakership
position was hatched in a meeting held in Tinubu’s residence last week and already,
Oshiomhole has been able to secure an appointment for the APC returning and
elected members of the House of Representatives to have a “dinner” with
President Buhari on Tuesday, the 16th of April.
Invitation to the dinner termed “Joint NWC/Members of the House
of Representatives dinner with Mr. President” was sent out last night.
The invitation reads: “The National Chairman, comrade Adams A
Oshiomole has the Honour and pleasure to cordially invite Members of the
National Working Committee and APC Returning and Elected Members of the House
of Representatives to a dinner with Mr. President.”
According to the invitation issued on behalf of Oshiomhole by his Director of
Admin, Abdullahi Yusuf Gashua, the dinner will hold at Banquet Hall, Presidential
Villa, Abuja.
Invitees are to arrive at 7:15pm while the dinner will start at
7:30.
“As it was done in the case of Senator Ahmed Lawan, Oshiomhole
will just announce at the dinner that the Speakership position has been zone to
the Southwest and Gbajabiamila has been chosen.
“Not minding the fact that no meeting has been held by the
National Working Committee (NWC) to zone National Assembly positions,
Oshiomhole will make the announcement as the position of the party’s National
Working Committee (NWC), giving no room for other members of the NWC to speak.
“Thereafter, some selected returning members of the House of
Representatives will be made to speak in support of the arrangee endorsement.
“Even though Tinubu and Oshiomhole are not unmindful of this plot
being against the words and letters of our party’s constitution, especially
regarding to fair and even distribution of positions, they are hellbent in
pushing it through because of his (Tinubu) 2023 Presidential ambition.
“This same desperate ambition of Tinubu to be President cost us
States like Imo, Oyo, Rivers and may cost us Zamfara State. It almost cost us
Ogun State when Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s candidate was denied ticket and we
must thread carefully so that the ambition of one man does not cost us the
National Assembly leadership,” a member of the party’s NWC, who preferred
anonymity said.
