Yakubu Dogara as speaker.
Even though the contest was tough and even bitterly fought with all manner of recriminations and rancor from opposing camps after what the reneged APC members did. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila accepted the outcome, serving superbly and loyally as House Majority Leader, co-operating and collaborating with previous rivals and contestants in moving the House Legislative Agenda forward.
