Minority leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, today apologised to the lower legislative chamber of the National Assembly, over the derogatory remarks he made against the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha.
In his words, "I withdraw that portion where I called him the deputy speaker of a political party. We should be accommodating of each other as a House."
Gbajabiamila, it would be recalled had made a vow that the All Progressives Congress (APC) members would no longer accord Ihedioha respect as deputy speaker.
He had added that, "What you saw today (Wednesday) is yet another indication of what the PDP has brought on our country.
"We have a deputy speaker who has never hidden his partisanship. He has always taken sides with the PDP, compared to the speaker (Tambuwal), who sees himself as the Speaker of the Federal Republic of Nigeria."
Last week, the two contending political parties had disagreed over the deployment of the military for election duties.
