Ethnicity, religion influenced outcome of Nigeria’s parliamentary election – Gbajabiamila

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, said on Tuesday ethnicity and religion influenced the outcome of last month’s parliamentary election.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) retained control of the parliament with 57 and 162 members in the Senate and House of Representatives respectively.

However, the Labour Party surprised many after winning seven Senate seats and 34 in the House of Representatives for the next dispensation.
