The House of Representatives has postponed its scheduled resumption of plenary from Wednesday to December 16.
A statement by the Clerk to the House, Mr. Mohammed Sani-Omolori, late on Tuesday, explained that the decision was to allow the members to participate in the primaries of their respective political parties.
It added that the House had to postpone the resumption after the parties adjusted their initial calendar for the primaries.
“The House will now resume on Tuesday, 16th December, 2014 at 10am.
“The leadership of the House took note of the adjustment in the calendar of the political parties and took the decision for the postponement to allow members of the House participate in the forthcoming primaries of their political parties,” part of Sani-Omolori’s statement read.
The development confirmed an exclusive story by The PUNCH on Tuesday that the resumption was not feasible.
Many lawmakers had confided in The PUNCH on Monday that they were preoccupied with fighting for a return ticket in 2015.
One of them had said, “You don’t expect members to come and sit in Abuja on December 3, just days to their primaries, do you?

“Why does anybody want us to come and sit here when we should be contesting for our return tickets?”
Besides the party primaries,‎ The PUNCH had also observed that December 3 (Wednesday) was an odd date for the House to reconvene after a break.
Members have traditionally resumed on Tuesdays.

House Deputy Majority Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor, had admitted there was indeed a mistake in selecting the initial date.
“‎So much was happening at the time the date was taken that we did not realise 3rd is even a Wednesday,” Ogor had said.

Disappointed?? Sorry!

didnt even read em

Dec 16 was the real date jor.Politicians? kai...

Jonathan'll have several sleepless nightmares till then.

How does the removed Former Speaker Tambuwal stopped the killing in Lagos State APC Primaries venue

I thought they had a serious issue that needed to be debated asap that warranted climbing gates

By the time the Reps are back

Most of them will be too battle-weary and probably would have lost their tickets to new folks to even contemplate any war with Tambuwal

And i am sure APC will also be lurking in the wings to offer some of them a soft-landing


The only war that will take place will be an internal war within the PDP over the automatic ticket the Reps and Senators are asking for

k no p

And an APC stakeholders' meeting that was scheduled for tomorrow had to be postponed because our Senator, Reps and others are resuming tomorrow. Nice one though!

What's Tambuwal scared of, thought he said he was still leader of the house even though the rest of the country knows otherwise.
