Faleke clarifies alleged ‘fight’ with Gbajabiamila

A member of the House of Representatives, James Faleke has reacted to a rumoured confrontation with the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila.

The alleged fight reportedly happened at the Lagos Caucus meeting which took place at Gbaja’s residence a few days ago.

In a statement, Faleke maintained there was no quarrel between them, saying what he did “was clear the rumours of disagreement”.

“I made it clear to my other colleagues that such insinuation was just a figment of the imagination of the rumour mongers.”

The representative of the Ikeja federal constituency advised members of the public to “ignore insinuations and the tissue of lies”.

Faleke served as the Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

There are speculations that he and Gbajabiamila are at loggerheads over the role of Chief of Staff to President-elect Bola Tinubu.

The tussle is said to have extended to the preference of the lawmaker to emerge as Speaker of the 10th House in June
