Members of the House of Representatives loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday threatened to remove Femi Gbajabiamila (Lagos) as leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, caucus in the lower chamber.
The lawmakers, operating under the aegis of Parliamentary Support Group, PSG, accused Gbajabiamila of collaborating with Rep. Sarki Adar (APC, Sokoto), to use his position to champion their own selfish ambitions.
They also said Gbajabiamila’s leadership style has inflicted collateral damage to the unity of the APC caucus.
A letter by Rep. Abdulmumin Jibrin (APC, Kano) to members of the PSG yesterday which leaked to the media in Abuja yesterday said that in the next few days Gbajabiamila’s fate will be determined.
The letter read, “Honourable colleagues, I urge you to remain calm in the face of attempt to undermine our efforts by Femi Gbajabiamila and Sarki Adar.
“We remain resolute in our support for PMB and unity of the House of Representatives. In the next few days, we will decide if Femi will continue to be the House leader as there are many competent members from South West that can perform better.”
“We will not allow anybody to take advantage of our caucus and his so-called support for our party and PMB to foster his personal ambition. Gbajabiamila’s style has inflicted collateral damage to the unity of our caucus. It is time to deal with it.”
