Image result for Mohammed Bago
The adoption of  Ahmed Wase by Femi Gbajabiamila as his running mate for the office of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker,  House of Representatives has brought a twist in the race for the Leadership of the 9th Assembly.

Gbajabiamila is the House Majority Leader and has been adopted by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC for the office of the Speaker and Wase is the Deputy Majority Leader and was also in the contest for Speakership.

While Gbajabiamila was adopted by the APC, there are no traces to the party’s selection of Wase for the office of Deputy Speaker though it had zoned the position to the North Central; hence this is purely an arrangement by the present Majority Leader and his Deputy.

This political marriage of convenience has barred other contenders from the North-central and South-east whom many political observers believed were in the race for Speakership to cling the Deputy at the end of the day.
