The Southwest Caucus of the PDP has endorsed the candidature of Muraina Ajibola for Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Reports say that the endorsement was made at a meeting held at the hill-top residence of former President Olusegun Obasanjo by the caucus in Abeokuta on Thursday.
It was learned that the meeting also deliberated on the petitions, filed by the party before various tribunals, challenging the outcome of the just-concluded general elections.
Sources close to the meeting told newsmen that Ajibola, a second-term member of the House of Representatives, hails from Ibarapa in Oyo State.
“With an experienced legislator like Ajibola, he is sure to hold all the members of the house together; he will not just be learning to climb the rope,” the source said.
Although none of those who attended the meeting was ready to volunteer information, it was, however, learnt that there was no strong opposition to the choice of Ajibola.
Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo, the PDP National Vice-Chairman, Southwest, declined comments when approached by newsmen, advising reporters to seek audience with Obasanjo.
