Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, has told nine members of House Representatives elected on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) to represent Oyo State, to support Femi Gbajabiamila as next House Speaker.
Ajimobi was said to have made this statement on Sunday during a meeting he had with the representatives-elect in his private residence in Oluyole Estate, Ibadan.
Ajimobi’s comment was made known in a statement on Monday by an Oyo lawmaker, Akeem Adeyemi, on behalf of “Oyo APC Reps Caucus” through Gbajabiamila’s campaign office.
Adeyemi is the APC South-West Coordinator of Gbajabiamila Speakership Campaign Council.
The lawmaker said he promised Ajimobi “their full cooperation after each member had spoken in acceptance of the governor’s endorsement of the House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila.”
He added: “Consequently, APC members-elect from Oyo State pledged unflinching loyalty to the party and promised to abide by the party’s decision on the choice of Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila as the Speaker of the 9th Assembly.”
