The House of Representatives wielded the big stick yesterday, suspending the embattled former Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Abudulmumin Jibrin for 180 days, the equivalent of a legislative year, for misconduct and a breach of the collective privilege of the House. This is even as the lawmakers passed for a second reading a Bill for an Act to amend the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition Law Enforcement and Administration Act).
Jibrin, who by the suspension is not allowed anywhere near the National Assembly Complex, will not to hold any position in the Eighth House. His suspension comes after weeks of speculation and a bitter war of words between him and the leadership of the House.
Regardless, his suspension was subsequent to the adoption of the report by the Ossai Nicholas Ossai-led House Committee on Ethics and Privileges on the motion entitled: “Breach of Privileges of Federal Republic of Nigeria (the House), Breach of Privileges of Members of House Representatives, Breach of Practices, Precedents and Usages of the House of Representatives and Sundry Acts of Misconducts against the Members and Institution of the House of Representatives and the National Assembly are contrary to Sections 22 and 30 of Legislative (Powers and Privileges Act), sponsored by Emmanuel Oker-Jev (Benue-APC).
