9TH ASSEMBLY: APC likely to adopt Plateau’s Wase as its choice for deputy speaker

There are indications that the All Progressives Congress will adopt Idris Wase (Plateau) as its choice for deputy speaker of the 9th House of Representatives.

This was hinted at by Abdulmumin Jibrin (Kano), who is the Director General (DG) of the Femi Gbajabiamila campaign council, on Saturday on his twitter handle.

The post read: “MURUS!!! Mr Speaker and Mr Deputy Speaker 9th Assembly. If you are an APC member and against the two, you are on collision course with the party. 2015 is NOT 2019 in so many ways. We are assuring our 360 colleagues, Femi and Wase will run an all inclusive House.”

Recall that the ruling APC formally adopted Gbajabiamila as its candidate for the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the incoming 9th National Assembly.
