DOGARA ELECTED SPEAKER, BEATS GBAJABIAMILA BY EIGHT VOTES


Hon. Yakubu Dogara, representing Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa-Balewa Federal constituency of Bauchi State, has emerged Speaker of the House of Representatives.
He defeated his closest rival, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila by eight votes, polling 182 votes to Gbajabiamila's 174 in very close contest Tuesday.
With his victory, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has played a major role in routing the favoured candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in both chambers of the National Assembly.
Senators Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu had earlier on Tuesday emerged Senate President and Deputy Senate President in the Senate.
