Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has appealed to National Assembly (NASS) members-elect to drop discussion on zoning and leadership of the 10th Assembly until gubernatorial elections is over, iwitnesslive.com can report
Speaking during APC leadership parley with lawmakers-elect at the State House Banquet Hall Abuja on Monday, the speaker hinged his submission on the need for the party to record a landslide victory in Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
“On the issue of zoning, yes, we did talk about it; it is neither here nor there yet; we have another election coming up this weekend and we want to make sure that everybody goes back home, roll up your sleeves.
“It is not hurray yet; we are not there yet; we need to complete the victory and our joy before we talk about the National Assembly; and that’s basically what it was about,’’ he said.
He then shed more light on why he was not on ground to pick up his certificate of return from INEC last week.
“All I heard was that I didn’t come here last week to pick up my certificate and because of that somebody conjectured that must be because I didn’t care about it or something about chief of staff.
“ It will interest you that I was in Lagos; I couldn’t leave Lagos because I was campaigning for my party.
“It will also further interest you that I was not here four years ago to pick up my certificate because I couldn’t make it; I didn’t think it was anything significant.
