On Thursday, the House of Representatives will debate a motion, which will determine if Gambian President Yahaya Jammeh will be granted asylum in Nigeria.

The move is part of efforts to broker peace and ensure transition in the West African country.
The motion is being sponsored by Rep Mohammed Sani Zorro (APC, Jigawa). It was supposed to be taken yesterday, but was postponed.

Zorro said Nigeria should consider the option if it will lead to Jammeh relinquishing power to Barrow.

When Speaker Yakubu Dogara put the motion to a voice vote, the majority of the lawmakers shouted ‘nay,’ but the speaker ruled in favour.
Jammeh is refusing to step down , despite initially conceding defeat to Adama Barrow in last month’s presidential polls.

This week, he asked a high-level ECOWAS
delegation to move their visit from Wednesday to Friday .

I think is better idea,and hope he bring all his looted Gambia fund to invest in our economy,eg charles taylor

As long as he leaves office, great

His end is now!

African leaders holding on to power like say Na their birthright since 1145

Don't bring that man here.

Someone that ''claims'' to ''have healing powers''...no thanks.

Another Charles Taylor in the making.
Nigeria will betray him last last

This Quran hugging,chest thumping dictator wont leave that sit until he is disgraced out like Gbagbo. He believes that Allah destined him to remain in power,religion is truly the opium of my african people.

NB: On a serious note what effing business do our hypocritical and greedy lawmakers have with Gambia when $1=500 naira?.

Nigerian has become a dumping ground for failed leaders and dictators. I am going to name them.

1. Yakubu Gowon: (my auto correct spells him as "gown". I guess that's the suitable name for him) Dictator and failed leader.

2. Olusegun Obasanjoauto correct spells him "ouse gun" apt name!) Dictator, militocrat and failed leader.

3 Shehu shagari: Democrat and failed leader.

4. Muhammad Buhari: Dictator, Militocrat and failed leader.

5. Ibrahim Babangida: Dictator and failed leader.

6. Earnest Shonekan: Figure head and failed leader.

7. Abdusalami Abubakar : Dictator and failed leader.

8. Goodluck Jonathan : Democrat and failed leader.

All these people are in a country that has not had 60years of independence. They are just of nuisance value, eating up the little resources we have for their maintenance and causing confusion in the polity.

Charles Taylor was once here after ruining Liberia. Now Yahya Jammeh is coming to join to our long list of failed leaders. My question is, has Nigeria become a retirement home for useless former leaders?

America that has had a solid 200+ years of independence only have 4 past leaders living. (Jimmy Carter, George Bush the 41st, Bill Clinton and George Bush the 43rd) Obama is going to make them 5 on 20th January and Jimmy Carter is already waving goodbye as Obama is being welcomed to the group.

Jammeh should go to Ghana biko. We are not the only country that desire peace in Gambia.

Which one be asylum

He is still the president.

Will they oust him out?

Why Nigeria? Is Nigeria a dust bin?

No hiding place for the wicked...

If that will prevent the stiffnecked man from causing another civil war in Gambia, then it's good.

For What? Arrant Nansense

Near sambisa forest.

APC kwa



Is there APC in gambia?



What is APC playing at?



Why are they so intrested in this gambians case?

Person tell una say he no wan give up power, una dey look for room for am for Nigeria.

Has he told you he's ready to relinquish power?

Not a bad idea though

Jammeh must go

Asyii watin, make dem no grant am ooo, naija na dumping ground for dictators?? Na only buhari we dey manage recession dey hold us if we con add dis man join body for naija watin we go remain! Nay!!!!!!!in reps voices

If asylum will make him to relinquish power then its a welcomed development since Gambia ll be asked to grant buhari asylum someday to come

NgeneUkwenu:
Unless he is going to share room in Kuje Prisons with that Fraudster called Nnamdi Kanu....I willl Say No To Political Refugees...

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Exactly, dont know why African leaders wanna reign forever

Check my signature

It won't be a bad idea, provided he is not allowed to set bad precedence in African Democracy, he can seek asylum in any part of the world, he must relinquish power to the president-elect first.

If not for ethnic chauvinism and religious fanaticism, Nigeria indeed is a Big Brother to Africans!

Restoring the pride of Nigeria is a task that all hands must be on deck to achieve by sending out political leaders who fans the embers of this discord out of leadership positions

I seriously doubt that Jammeh is interested in assylum in Nigeria. These guys should focus on other things abeg.

This demon that wants to slaughter gay....we have to hide andyblaze....

One stupid gorilla trying to ruin peace unnecessarily...

Y naija................y is naija always the save haven for bad people.charles Taylor was sent here and now this one. Any way daura or sambisa is ok by me

As if we don't have our own problems already. But you won't hear the reps debating on how to better the lives of Nigerians o. Nigeria forming big brother when we can't even feed ourselves, provide basic amenities and infrastructure, youth unemployment rate skyrocketing, child labor, tribalism and religious bigotry and what have you. It's indeed a shame to the giant of Africa, who will Nigeria now run to now that we have internally enslaved ourselves?
