By Emman Ovuakporie & Johnbosco Agbakwuru
ABUJA—APPARENTLY shocked by the list of committees announced by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, last Thursday, members, who supported the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate for speakership, Femi Gbajabiamila have expressed disappointment over what they described as a lopsided appointments of committee chairmen by the House leadership.
The Speaker, Dogara had announced chairmen and deputy chairmen for the 96 standing committees of the House, with members considered to be his loyalists getting some of the ‘juicy’ committees.
But the new spokesman of the House, Abdulrazak Namdas in a statement last Friday, debunked the claims that Dogara’s men got more lucrative committees.
According to some members of the Loyalists Group, who spoke to Vanguard, it was surprising that out of the 96 committees, only nine of them were appointed as chairmen.
