“We have heard this and we have always heard about Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

“…Without Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu we wouldn't have an APC today. He is not God but he is a vessel God has used to put that party together. He has put in his sweat.”

“He has put in his money, He has put in his intellect, he has put in his energy. For those of us who know he was the bedrock of the party.”

Gbajabiamila had been chosen by the APC as its sole candidate for the Speakership but he was defeated by current Speaker, Yakubu Dogara who defied the party to contest.
