Fani-Kayode Backs APC’s Gbajabiamila For Speaker

Former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has backed Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila (APC-Lagos) for Speaker of the 9th National Assembly.

Fani-Kayode, who is a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made this known in a post on Twitter.

He, however, expressed his reservations in the way the Lagos-born politician had allegedly emphasised his Muslim religion.

Fani-Kayode wrote, “I don’t like @femigbaja’s @OfficialAPCNg or the way he conducted aspects of his campaign or the way he emphasised his Muslim faith and bowed before a northern Muslim cleric.

“However I STILL believe that he deserves to be elected Speaker of the House and I support his candidacy.

“I have known him for 40 years and I assure you that he is NOT a criminal, he has NOT been convicted of anything in America, he is his own man, he is not a stooge, he is cerebal, he is not a coward, he is tough and he loves his wife, family and country deeply and passionately.

“Besides, Lagos state and his Surulere constituency, deserve to have the position of Speaker after all these years.

“I urge all those in the House of Reps from both @OfficialPDPNig and @OfficialAPCNg to vote for @femigbaja on Tuesday. Godspeed Femo! I wish you well!”
