House Of Reps Speaker, Gbajabiamila Fumes As Buratai, Others Shun Meeting by FutureDecisions: 4:27pm On Sep 20, 2019 |
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, was visibly angry on Friday as service chiefs shunned a meeting he convened to discuss the security situation in the country. Instead, the military top brass sent representatives who were turned back by the leader of the nation’s lower legislative chamber. Igbere TV gathers that a visibly disappointed Gbajabiamila, who described their action as an insult to the parliament, promised to report the matter to President Muhammadu Buhari. The speaker then postponed the meeting to Monday morning, while apologising to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Adamu; Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Yusuf Bichi, and Comptroller General (CG) of Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammad Babandede, who were present at the meeting. Gbajabiamila noted with dismay that the act of shunning the invitation of the parliament by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Abayomi Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai; Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas, and the Chief of the Air Staff (CAF), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar was uncalled for. He said it was a sad development since all arms of government are supposed to work in unison for the development of the country and the benefit of Nigerians. “Let me, first of all, commend Mr President for the commitment he has shown in trying to stem the spate of insecurity in the country. Mr President has to have people he would delegate those powers to as the Commander-in-Chief as dictated by our constitution. http://igberetvnews.com/1008577/gbajabiamila-fumes-as-olonisakin-buratai-others-shun-meeting/ Lalasticlala Mynd44 Dominique

Femi should relax been speaker doesn't make you chief of arm forces to summon all security chiefs and other appointees of the president at will just to prove you're speaker and massage your ego. Imagine speaker summoning chief of defence staff, chief of army staff, chief of airforce, chief of naval staff, IG of police, DSS director, NIA director, comptroller general of prison, comptroller general of immigration at the same time and day. Yesterday was Femi fumes and lambast Godfrey Onyema minister of foreign affairs for not appearing before him after been summoned Hope Femi is not lizard that calls himself an alligator. Femi I don't support you on this i just see you as trying to raise unnecessary issue by trying to assert yourself as the number four (4) citizen. Now i see why your fellow members never wanted you as speaker in 2015 after they accused you of been to pompous, egocentric and carries yourself as if no other member existed. 1 Like |

KenOne: The house of representatives have the powers to summon ANYBODY including the PRESIDENT to explain if need be ANYTHING that needs clarifications. Be guided, read your constitution and know the powers of the Speaker, House of reps of Nigeria. |
