President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, July 24, met with the House of Representatives lawmaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, in Aso Rock, Abuja.
It should be recalled that Gbajabiamila was the candidate preferred by the All
Progressives Congress for the green chamber leadership. However, Yakubu
Dogara was elected the speaker by the senators, despite the clearly specified
position of the party. The situation caused tension in the National Assembly,
which persists till the moment.
