Speaker of the National House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila is in big trouble as members of the House of Representatives are battle ready for him.
Sources squealed to us that the lawmakers are planning to impeach him following the allegations that he may have doctored the Standing Rules of the House.
According to sources, over 100 aggrieved members of the House have signed a notice of impeachment to be served on Gbajabiamila at the resumption of plenary on Tuesday.
The lawmakers are accusing Gbajabiamila of single-handedly manipulating the rules of the House to edge out more credible aspirants in favour of his preferred candidate, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen.
The lawmakers have vowed to raise the issue on the floor of the House for immediate retraction of the suspected rigged and doctored document.
An insider said: “Yes, I can confirm that an alteration has been done and the document has been printed. But I want to tell you that even as a principal officer in the House I am not aware of this. No such amendment has been officially carried by the House.”
Another inside source said: “This is a strange departure from our traditional procedure of electing presiding officers in the House, which has always produced Speakers and Deputy Speakers through a secret ballot system.”
“We have never discussed the issue of amending our rules in this repect in the last four years it must be the gand work of somebody who is trying to be faster than the House.”
“I assure you we will get to the root of the matter immediately so as to save the House from any embarrassment.”
