The chief whip is being mooted as a replacement for the representative of Lagos state at the house, after he had sum­moned an emergency meeting of the House All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus last Tuesday to find a way out of the endless leadership tussle.

“Mem­bers were fed up. It was as a result of that action that it happened. Offi­cially as a member of the House and as the Chief Whip, I have no interest in Gbajabiamila’s posi­tion.

“There was no such plans. But you cannot stop such a speculation when you continue to create an unnecessary vacuum. Nobody has ap­proached me officially to ask me of my intentions to fill Gbajabiamila’s po­sition.
