House C’ttee list: We’re still in shock - Gbajabiamila loyalists

Dogara was fair, House spokesman insists


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.
