After a long struggling, running into weeks, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila who lost the position of House of Reps Speaker to Yakubu Dogara by just 8 votes, has emerged the Majority leader of the 8th House.
Gbajabiamila preferred to be majority leader than a mere deputy to the speaker. As Majority Leader, he is the chief coordinator of activities in the House.
Others who got positions as Principal Officers are:
Hon. Alhassan Dogowa as the Chief Whip, Hon. Baba Jibrin as the Deputy Leader and Hon. Pally Iriase as Deputy Chief Whip.
The position of Minority Leader went to PDP's Hon. Leo Ogor; Deputy Minority Leader, Chukwuma Onyema; Minority Whip, Yakubu Umaru and Deputy Minority Whip, Binta Bello.
The South-East still have good position in the house as they get the post of Deputy Minority Leader.
