A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Olajide Olatubosun (APC-Oyo), has again vowed that nothing will make him step down for the leading contender for the House and anointed candidate of APC, Hon. FemiGbajabiamila.

Although his party has publicly endorsed Gbajabiamila, a Lagos lawmaker, for the position, Olatubosun vowed not to step down from the race.


Briefing journalists in Abuja yesterday, he said that he would fight against imposition with the last drop of his blood.

The APC has zoned the office of the Speaker to the South-west and endorsed Gbajabiamila for the office.

Olatubosun said that section 50 sub-section 1b of the 1999 Constitution as amended states that members shall elect from among themselves any member with legislative experience to become speaker.


He said the APC’s endorsement of Gbajabiamila was illegal.

“I’m a party man only to the extent that the decisions of the party conform with the constitution,” he said.

He said that the doctrine of separation of power states that there are three arms of government with separate functions and responsibilities.


The lawmaker explained that the different arms of government should cooperate with one another without compromising the principle of checks and balances.

“The executive is not superior to the legislature, no. Unfortunately, because of our long years of military rule, the legislative arm has been bastardised so much.

There is a clear difference between contender and pretender

You guys should stop all these dirty politics and get working please.

A country that works is what we voted for.

We must get the leaders of NASS right this time.
We stand with our darling daddy President Muhammadu Buhari.

Hmmmm

Attention seeking nitwit. You've gotten it though, at least he has made Nairaland front page on a Monday morning.

Cos they deserve it...

When an antelope dances at the centre of the road, know that the drums are beaten in the land of the spirits.

Do these people care about the people or for themselves?

Its only in nigeria that we have anointed candidate in an elective position

It's not about stepping down. It's about asking yourself about your relevance.

* How many bills have u passed
*What's has been your contribution to national development and your constituency
*Have u been an active member or just bench warmer
*What's your interpersonal relationship with your colleagues
*What will you do differently

Not just making noise all in the name of "I want to be a speaker*

This guy could just be the PDP joker!

This one is fighting for a juicy House committee.

What section says Party should zone speakership, nonsense. illegal

You too can you see ? It seems they have not learnt lesson from Zamfara. In fact from the eight assembly.

Well, unfortunately the people that should be there have sold their birthright to PDP just like they did in 2015 after betraying Chris ngige and refusing to support him for being APC. Ngige was later compensated by buhari with ministerial position.

Division among the yorubers, I can clearly see they don't love themselves.

If you know, you know.
