<\/p>\n\nof committees positions to a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, caucus ahead of Tuesday\u2019s inauguration.<\/p>\n
The Director-General of the Femi Gbajabiamila\/Ahmed Wase Campaign Organisation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, disclosed this to newsmen on Saturday in Abuja.<\/p>\n
He also revealed that the positions would be enough for the faction which membership was over 60.<\/p>\n
Jibrin pointed out that with the votes from this PDP faction together with 223 APC members-elect, Gbajabiamila and Wase would emerge as Speaker and Deputy Speaker on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince it is only one faction that is working with us, what we are giving them will be enough for all of them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has never looked so bright, sure and clear to us that we are going to win election by the grace of God.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t be a victim of once bitten twice shy. We have taken all necessary measures humanly possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cAPC is much more comfortable with 223 members. But our campaign is even more aggressive to poach PDP members as a safety net.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been open to negotiating with one faction of the PDP. Their support for Gbajabiamila and Wase is because they are most competent at this election,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
According to him, the choice of Gbajabiamila over other contenders was a combination of competence, fairness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
