A member of the House of Representatives from
Bauchi State, Mr. Yakubu Dogara (pictured above), has been elected the Speaker of the House.
In an election to pick the Speaker of the 8th
legislature in Abuja on Tuesday, Dogara, a legal practitioner, scored 182 votes
to beat the member, representing Surulere 1 Federal Constituency in Lagos
State, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, who scored 174 votes.
In a primary conducted by the ruling All
Progressives Congress last Saturday, Gbajabiamila had beaten Dogara to emerge
the consensus candidate of the APC for the Reps top post.
