We can tell you for free that trouble is already brewing at the National House of Assembly as members of the Federal House of Representatives are set to impeach the Speaker, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.
Information at our disposal has it that the lawmakers are ready for battle following the allegations that Gbajabiamila may have doctored the Standing Rules of the House.
According to our sources over 100 aggrieved members of the House have signed a notice of impeachment to be served on the Speaker at the resumption of plenary on Tuesday.
The lawmakers are accusing the Speaker of single-handedly manipulating the rules of the House to edge out more credible aspirants in favour of his preferred candidate, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen.
Meanwhile, the lawmakers have vowed to raise the issue on the floor of the House for immediate retraction of the suspected rigged and doctored document.
One of the lawmakers said; “Yes, I can confirm that an alteration has been done and the document has been printed. But I want to tell you that even as a principal officer in the House I am not aware of this. No such amendment has been officially carried by the House.”
Another lawmaker said; “This is a strange departure from our traditional procedure of electing presiding officers in the House, which has always produced Speakers and Deputy Speakers through a secret ballot system.”
“We have never discussed the issue of amending our rules in this repect in the last four years it must be the gand work of somebody who is trying to be faster than the House.”
“I assure you we will get to the root of the matter immediately so as to save the House from any embarrassment.”
