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.
