Rep Storms Out Of Plenary Over Motion For FG To Present Record Of Recovered Loot by ijustdey: 9:15pm On May 24, 2017
From: Kemi Yesufu, Abuja


A mild drama played out, on Wednesday, in the House of Representatives, as Hon. Uchechuku Nnam-Obi, the sponsor of a motion on the need for the Federal Government to submit reports to the National Assembly on recovered Funds and Asset,” walked out in anger after the motion was withdrawn without his prior knowledge.

The decision of the House to drop the motion, the 9th on the Order Paper for Wednesday’s business was met with surprise among lawmakers as the action went contrary to the tradition of the Green Chamber.

When contacted by Daily Sun, Hon. Nnam-Obi who is representing, Ahaoda-West/Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Federal Constituency of Rivers State, declined comment.

Though the motion was read by Speaker Yakubu Dogara, rather than the sponsor’s move for the withdrawal by himself, it was the Acting Chairman, Rules and Business Committee, Bode Ayorinde, who was asked to proceed and he promptly moved for the withdrawal of the motion without giving any reason.

The Speaker obliged him and ruled in favour of the withdrawal.

Moments after the Speaker hit the gavel, signaling that he had ruled on the motion, Hon. Nnam-Obi left the chambers without any protest.

The lawmaker, in his debate as contained in the Order Paper, said it had become necessary for the Federal Government to furnish the National Assembly with full details of the recovered loot and what it has been used for, owing to keenness with Nigerians have followed the anti-corruption war.

Besides the 30 days ultimatum he proposed for the Presidency to submit the list of recoveries to the National Assembly, Nnam-Obi urged the Federal Ministry of Justice to ensure that quarterly reports on the various amounts and assets recovered are submitted to the National Assembly.

The lawmaker commended the Federal Government for confronting corruption in an effective manner, noting that in order to ensure proper monitoring of recovered assets and funds, a Presidential Committee on Recovered Assets was set up under the leadership of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, with the Attorney-General of the Federation, the Inspector-General of Police, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, the Department of State Service (DSS) and Presidential Advisory Committee on War Against Corruption as members of the committee.

“We however have to take cognisance of the fact that considering the importance of the recovered funds to the revival of the nation’s economy and the interest being shown by many Nigerians in the matter, there is a need for the Federal Government to submit to the National Assembly Reports on the amount and assets so far recovered and how they are being ploughed back into the economy,” he noted.

Committees on Special Duties and Financial Crimes were to be mandated to ensure implementation as part of the proposed resolution.

Despite being dropped unceremoniously, the motion could still be presented in the future as it was not debated and put on negative.

Though one is not certain of the details of that motion, but in my opinion the federal government should be made accountable if they won't choose accountability themselves. Or who is afraid of accountability? The Executives, I guess. And the house leadership too is probably afraid 'if we pull their strings they will hunt us with efcc'. Their Days In Power Are Numbered.

Scam government upon all the recoverd loot in houses, gold watches, exotic cars et al and the billions of dollars being forfeited by the courts, this government still goes around borrowing like a drug addict. Instead of them to share the details of these loot with the public via the green chamber, they are there playing cat and mouse to deceive the zombies.

They don't show record of the recovered loot either, because it has been relooted or the whole noise of recovering money is hoax.
Robbing peter to pay Paul is also corruption.

Buhari used the first few billions for his ear problem. I think the rest was used to fund his travels and treatment.


I pray this gives PMB sometime away. I like Nigeria better when he is away.

The humongous amount touted to have been stolen, if keenly followed by the amount said to have been recovered, has exceeded the said amount stolen!

You can't withdraw a motion of such prudence if there's nothing you guys are hiding.
If we must be serious with fighting corruption, we must be explicit and above - board in every issue regarding war against corruption.

My motion!

Thanks!
