The new speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that he would surprise opposition members of the House when he makes appointment of chairmen of committees of the House in a few weeks time.Gbajabiamila, who spoke to news men shortly after an audience with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja today, June 17, said: “the committees (members) will be unfolded in the next few weeks and you will see how we intend to carry them (members of the opposition) along. I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag but you can be assured they would be carried along.”
The Speaker said that his leadership would do things differently from what it used to be, adding: “we are going to build on whatever the achievements are of the eighth Assembly, and it’s going to be a reformed House.
“Like I have said, the reform will be fished out in piece meal so as not to shock the system. But they will be reforms that will be for the benefit of the country. We expect the cooperation of all facets of government, including the executive and you – the journalists and including our constituents.”
