Honourable
Yakubu Dogara, representing a constituency in Bauchi State, has emerged
the Speaker of the 8th House of Representatives in Nigeria.
Mr
Yakubu Dogara of the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeated Mr Femi
Gbajabiamila from Lagos State in the south-west region in the election
held on Tuesday.
Before the result of the
election was announced by the Clack of the House, Honourable Dogara on
his Twitter handle wrote: “To God be the glory”.
The National
Working Committee of the APC in a mock election held over the weekend
chose Honourable Gbajabiamila, as the party’s candidate.
Some
members of the party had spoken against the choice of Mr Gabajabiamila
after the mock election, saying the process was not constitutional.
Mr
Dogara’s emergence as the Speaker came hours after the Senate elected
Senator Bukola Saraki as its President, contrary to the choice made at
the party’s mock election.
Senator Saraki defeated Senator Ahmed Lawan, who was the party’s favourite, to emerge the Senate President.
