Katsina Assembly Suspends CPC Lawmaker For Criticising Govt by lekanolas: 1:58pm On Jun 04, 2013
Katsina State House of Assembly has suspended its Minority Leader, Hon. Abdullahi Mahuta (CPC, Malumfashi), for accusing it of failing to perform its duties.

The suspension followed the interview Mahuta granted one of the national dailies where he accused the Assembly of not performing its functions.

The minority leader had criticised the state government over a budget implementation that was far below average.

Mahuta said the state achieved a meagre 37 per cent budget implementation because the state House of Assembly failed to perform its functions.

He said the lawmakers defeated the essence of democracy as they were supposed to checkmate excesses of the state governor but had failed to do so.

However, the Assembly, which is currently on recess, reconvened yesterday and suspended the minority leader.

The motion to discuss Mahuta’s interview was moved by Hon. Aliyu Iliyasu (Batsari, PDP) under ‘matter of urgent public importance’.

The motion received majority support from the lawmakers, who criticised Muhata’s interview.

The Assembly then referred the matter to its Ethics and Privileges Committee for further investigation and directed that Mahuta remained suspended, pending the outcome of the investigation.

Is this an offense? Was he saying the truth or not? It's a criticism that they can reject.
Re: Katsina Assembly Suspends CPC Lawmaker For Criticising Govt by Nobody: 3:29pm On Jun 04, 2013
Is Nigeria truly practicing democracy? Are people no longer entitled to make contrary comments anymore. Why suspend a lawmaker for voicing out his opinion? If he said that the state governor was able to achieve 37% of the budget, is it not for the executive arm of government to prove that he is wrong? What has the legislature got to do with this? Possibly they feel they have been indicted. If so, so what? Then they should prove their colleague wrong. There is no doubt that Nigeria has turned into a banana republic - so much unnecessary show of power and political rascaldom.

Wow! Is this realy your opinion? Would you rather he kept quiet while the government was being oblivious of its duties? Says a lot about what kind of person you are ; crooked I guess. Shame on you!!

This PDP party is just an omen, they don't even seem to have any member that means well for the country in any state. They are all rouges nd dogs

SOLUTION: No to PDP, No to cluelessness come 2015

Democracy doesn't give anyone the authority to talk nonsense. A British boy as banned from entering the USA for calling obama a punk doesn't the US and UK practice the so called democracy?

Someday, when you two cretins grow up and have kids, I hope you'll be able to answer them when they ask you why nigeria is so backward.
The man is an opposition lawmaker. Criticizing his colleagues commitment to budget implementation is not exactly unethical.

Only 37% budget implementation...this sort of thing is why the North remains under-developed and poverty stricken youths there remain ripe candidates for the likes of Boko Haram. Instead of recoiling with outrage, you lot are cheering this on!

And this is the party that is promising a better Nigeria!! sanctioning a member for criticisms. well am not surprised cos same goes to ACN.
A party that it's members dare not criticize their leaders is what some people are praying to take over from PDP.
A party that it's leader has nothing to show but extremist and tribalism tendencies,
Though i never liked PDP, but i'll queue in the rain to vote for them against this nonsense APC.

That party caleed CPC(Congress Party of Criticism) is a complete confusing party. Their second is criticism they have gone to a point that anyone who do not careful and follow CPC the peson will ends up be confused like them and even ends up become a "Sadist"

Anything good to CPC is bad, anything right to CPC is wrong even anything wrong is wrong to CPC, everything in their own WORLD is wrong and bad that is CPC way of proving opposition thereby making the party so childish and silly indeed.

Its yet time for CPC to be thrashed out and become a non existing party because I dont know what a hell they stand for or what a hell is their mision. "Purely a Sadist Party"

Is Katsina state practising democracy or dictatorship. Members of Katsina state house of assembly are a disappointment to themselves, their people and to democracy they swore to uphold. Are they doing that to impress the Governo becos he probably gives them money? It means there should be no dissenting voice in Katsina state - everybody must speak in goverment language and there should be no freedom of speech, even by elected legislators. I weep for Katsina.

u need not prove to everyone u have low ability to comprehend. Must you display ur disability hia?
On the other hand, PDP in katsina are a bunch of misfits, though i'm not totally absolving the CPC lawmaker for publicly indicting a house he is a member of.
