House Speakership: Bago Dares APC over Choice of Gbajabiamila via thisdaylive
There are growing indications that the ruling All Progressives Congress is yet to get its acts together in determining the leadership of the 9th House of Representatives, as leading candidates from different zones of the country are still rooting for the position of the Speaker of the lower legislative chamber on the party’s platform.
This is coming as a member representing Ehime Mbano/ Obowo/ Ihitte Uboma federal constituency of Imo State, Hon. Chike Okafor, while briefin the House of Representatives media crew, contended that the ruling APC is about to make the same mistake it made in 2015 by its choices for the leadership of the two chambers of the assembly.

I used to be a banker. If you look at my Curriculum Vitae, you will see that I got one of my Master’s degree in Ekpoma while I was in Standard Trust Bank. I got another one from University of Calabar while I was in United Bank for Africa, after the acquisition of UBA by STB. I am also a Cambridge alumnus.
