Southwest geo-political zone on Tuesday night presented a united front for the emergence of the House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, as the next House
At a meeting held at the Abuja residence of Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, more than 90 per cent of the members-elect from the region, cutting across all political parties, met with the governors and governors-elect.
According to investigation, the APC governors secured more mileage for Gbajabiamila at the meeting between them with the members-elect. It was agreed by the 52 members-elect that they would work for Gbajabiamila in line with the wish of the President and the All Progressives Congress directive. According to another source, who was also at the gathering, the governors made it clear that “Gbajabiamila is a project for the region”.
Gbajabiamila’s Campaign Coordinator for Southwest Akeem Adeyemi said Odebunmi has finally aligned himself with the APC position on the issue. “Their involvement is all about rallying us that Gbajabiamila’s candidacy is not only on merit, but the wisest political choice. On Honourable Odebunmi, I can tell you that he has finally aligned himself with the party’s position. He is on the same page with us as confirmed by himself tonight.”
Another member of the lobbying team for Gbajabiamila said: “So far, so good, we are in good standing because our strength this time around is stable and predictable.
