APC, PDP Reps Clash Over Amaechi by sayyid(m): 9:32pm On Feb 11, 2016 |
All Progressives Congress members of the House of Representatives clashed with their Peoples Democratic Party colleagues today over the Minister of Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi. Amaechi appeared before the joint Committee on Marine/Land Transport to defend the 2016 budget proposals of the ministry, but lawmakers tried to turn the session into a venue for political party supremacy battle. APC members, who control the majority of 213, out of the 360-member legislature, felt that the former Governor of Rivers State deserved some protection from the committee, as he came under a barrage of questions. The APC lawmakers complained that too many questions were being thrown at the minister. However, some PDP members suddenly flared up, arguing that the minister could be asked any questions. The PDP members were led by Mr. Pat Asadu (Enugu State) and Mr. Nnana Igbokwe (Imo State). The development came as the House Committee on Aviation rejected a proposal by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority to spend N130m this year to conduct a security audit on the nation’s airports. The Chairperson of the committee, Mrs. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, recalled that in 2015, a similar proposal was submitted by the agency. She noted, “I can see you people have brought this matter of security audit again, and I remember querying it last year. “How can you spend this much on the airports even when 22 out of the 32 airports are shut down with no operation going on whatsoever? “The committee expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the capital projects of the NCAA, rating them as “below average.” But, the Director-General of NCAA, Capt. Mukhtar Usman, informed the committee that the agency improved on the training of personnel to meet global standards. Similarly, the Committee on Foreign Relations declined to approve a proposal by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to spend N9bn for connectivity projects to link Abuja with all foreign missions. www.punchng.com/apc-pdp-reps-clash-over-amaechi/ |

A country that's more interested in party affairs than in country affairs. How can they love their party more than the country itself? Gosh! |
