An alliance of aspirants gunning for Speakership of the 10th House of Representatives, known as G7, on Saturday met with the Greater Majority group of lawmakers in a bid to present a consensus candidate for the Speaker and Deputy Speaker.
The G7 on Saturday at a Transcorp Hilton parley gave assurance of their resolve to work with the Minority Caucus in a bid to present a common front for the 10th National Assembly Speaker.
The G7 alliance of aspirants has the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ahmed Wase; the Chairman, House Committee on Appropriation, Aliyu Betara; Chairman, House Committee on Navy, Yusuf Gagdi as members.
Others include Sada Soli (APC-Katsina), Miriam Onuhoa (APC-Imo), Sani Jaji (APC-Zamfara) and Rep Ado Doguwa.
Fred Agbedi speaking for the Greater Majority commended the G7 in seeing the Greater Majority as partners in progress for the progressive growth of the 10th House just as he stated that the caucus had not endorsed any candidate.
He promised that the Greater Majority would work with all members-elect of the minority to ensure that the 10th House had a speaker for all.
Meanwhile, reports are rife that Reps Ali Doguwa has backed out of the G7 alliance.
