The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, and Akwa Ibom senator-elect, Godswill Akpabio, have warned incoming members of the National Assembly against inviting the animosity of the President-elect in the election of the presiding officers of the two chambers.
However, some of their rivals are refusing to step down and are looking towards the members-elect of the minority parties for support. The minority parties have more members combined than the APC in the House. “I have been the pioneer of what they call House Project at one time when Tambuwal was the speaker—when we installed Tambuwal. I regret it,” Mr Gbajabiamila said.
Speaking on the events that took place in the aftermath of the election in 2011, Mr Abbas said the then administration punished the lawmakers by paying 50 per cent working allowance and reducing the constituency projects funds.
