10th NASS: Gagdi Intensifies Push For Speakership, Meets LP Reps-elect

Rt. Hon Yusuf Gagdi’s race for the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 10th National Assembly, on Friday, received a boost following his meeting with Members-elect on the platform of the Labour Party (LP).

The meeting, which held in Abuja, had a majority of Labour Party Reps-elect in attendance.

It was a follow-up to interactions with leaders of the Labour Party at national and state levels.

Gagdi, who has legislative experience from state to federal levels, has been consulting widely across party lines to build a national governing coalition that reflects the composition of the House of Representatives.

The meeting held on Friday is one of the many consultative parleys being held by the Lawmaker with Members of the House elected across various political parties.

Engagements between Gagdi, stakeholders and members-elect are ongoing, as the nation awaits the decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the zoning of National Assembly positions.
