Mr Gagdi, a speakership aspirant, gave the clarification in the wake of reports that the coalition of G6 aspirants for the 10th House of Representatives Speaker has fallen apart.

Mr Gagdi said on Tuesday in Abuja that the report that G6 were not together was a big lie.

He said the speculation was only meant to breed bad blood amongst them which would not work, adding that the coalition had made up its mind to work in unity.

He said the group would not be deterred by sponsored write-ups against any of its members, noting that he was also with the president-elect and spent hours discussing with him.

He said the G6 acknowledged the fact that the president-elect is a democrat and a father to all, adding that they had all visited the president-elect one after the other in different circumstances.

Mr Gagdi said the G6 had come to stay and would not succumb to any paid writer willing to be used to fuel disunity among them, adding that the G6 would surely coast to victory on June 13, when the House would be inaugurated.

He urged the public to disregard the report and treat it as one fit only for the dustbin, adding that the report was lacking in merit and substance.

The G6 include: Ahmed Wase, Deputy Speaker, Muktar Betara Aliyu, Yusuf Gagdi, Sada Soli, Sani Jaji and Miriam Onuoha.
