Speakership: Gbajabiamila woos colleagues with smart phones

Gbajabiamila, 56, gathered members-elect from across the political divides in Abuja to sell his manifestoes to them and unveil his game plan for the forthcoming election for the principal officers of the National Assembly slated for next month.

The 56-year old lawmaker also lavished the lawmakers-elect with gift items which included smart phones

The All Progressives Congress (APC) anointed candidate for the Speakership of the 9th House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajiabiamila, on Thursday, May 2 stepped up his campaign for the office.

As they filed out of the venue for a press conference also in the same hotel, the lawmakers-elect clutched the parks containing the phones and posed for separate photographs.

Sources at the closed-door meeting claimed that the members-elect signed the register for the phones and other gift items in an envelope before all was handed to them. The sources, however, declined to give disclose what was in the envelope that each beneficiary received.

One of the loyalists of the Lagos-born Speakership aspirant, Hon Onofiok Luke (PDP, Akwa Ibom), who addressed a press conference after conferring with Gbajiabiamila, said that they opted to support him for the office because of his capacity, openness and experience in the National Assembly.
