9th Assembly: Early Drama In Reps As Members Chant Gbajabiamila, Wase’s Names
The atmosphere in the green chamber of the National Assembly was on Tuesday rented with loud chants of the names of Honourables Femi Gbajabiamila and Idris Wase whose candidacy have been endorsed by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the positions of Speaker and Deputy Speaker respectively.
The chanting began with some Northern lawmakers who were joined by their South-West counterparts, indicating that Gbajabiama loyalists are currently dominant in the chamber.
While the chant continued, the supporters of Honourable Bago were nowhere to be seen as the slogans changed to battle ready! Battle ready!
This was also joined by another group singing war songs in Yoruba language, mixed with a gospel rendition of Ose! Ose ooh! Ose ooh, Ose Baba!
