Federal lawmaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, has given the condition under which he would work with Yakubu Dogara, the new Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Although Gbajabiamila, was the candidate endorsed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the speakership of the house of representatives, Dogara defeated him with 8 votes in a tightly fought election.

While speaking with journalists in Abuja on Thursday, June 11, after an emergency meeting of some lawmakers and the national working committee of the party, Gbajabiamila, revealed that he has no justification taking legal action against the election.

He said: “We have just gone through an election in the House, so we came to meet with the party regarding the election and how the party is going to remain strong and united and move forward so that we can deliver the deliverables and programmes of the party through the House.

“Go to court for what? I don’t know about the Senate. I can only speak for the House. Nothing happened in the House. We had an election. It is different from the Senate. In the Senate, people were deprived of their fundamental rights to express themselves and vote.

“We will work with the leadership of the House and the Speaker, so long as the party’s programmes are properly articulated and pursued on the floor of the House. We will work with the leader of the House. He is an APC member. He is not the Speaker of the APC. He is the speaker of the whole House.”
