Two members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday rejected their appointments as head of standing committees of the House.

One of the lawmakers, Mr. Garba Dhatti-Muhammad, rejected his appointment as the Chairman of the House Committee on Solid Minerals Development.

Findings by The PUNCH showed that another member, Mr. Hassan Saleh, rejected his appointment as the Deputy Chairman, Committee on Local Content.

Dhatti-Muhammad announced the rejection of his appointment on the floor of the House.

A mild drama accompanied the development as members clapped for him, with some saying, “yes”, “correct move,” and “okay, no problem.”

The leadership of the House reacted quickly by replacing him with a member from Kaduna State, Mr. Sumaila Suleiman.

Dhatti-Muhammad, a member of the All Progressives Congress from Kaduna State, was one of the 96 chairmen of the standing committees of the House named by the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, on Thursday last week.

Incidentally, the Speaker was in Israel when Dhatti-Muhammad made his decision public on Tuesday.

His excuse was that Dogara did not “consult” him before appointing him.

He added that as a former member of the Body of Principal Officers, he ought to have been consulted before he was named a committee chairman.

Dhatti-Muhammad was the Deputy Minority Whip in the Seventh Assembly.

“I use this opportunity to withdraw my chairmanship of the Committee on Solid Minerals,” he told the session, which was presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Yussuff Lasun.

However, The PUNCH gathered that Dhatti-Muhammad might have expected to chair a “bigger committee” than the one he was offered.

The House, by its recent grading of committees, rated the Committee on Solid Minerals as a “Grade ‘C’ Committee,” meaning that it is now lower in ranking than grades ‘A’ and ‘B’ committees.

On his part, Saleh, who is from Benue State, sent his letter of resignation to the Speaker’s office, from where it was taken to Lasun ‘s office since he was presiding over the House in the absence of Dogara.

“Many members have been grumbling over the manner some key committees were shared.

“There have been complaints that a lot of them did not get the committees befitting their status.

“Besides, there were members who expected to be named chairmen but did not get anything,” one member confided in The PUNCH.

It will be recalled that out of the 96 committees, the APC got 47, while the PDP took 46 seats.

But some APC members had grumbled that the opposition party got more grades ‘A’ and ‘B’ committees than the ruling party.

The House, through its spokesperson, Abdulrazak Namdas, explained that “all interests” were catered for in the distribution of the committees.

“The issue of federal character was considered. This idea that certain people were not carried along is not true. Everything was done with the spirit of fairness,” he added.

Namdas also told The PUNCH that a member had the right to reject an appointment to serve as a committee chairman, adding that no member would be forced to remain a chairman.

Speaker of House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara Thursday announced the Chairmen and Vice Chairmen of the 96 House Committees.

However, the head of Committee on Niger Delta Affairs was not named.

Dogara’s allies got juicy Committees such as Appropriation, which is chaired by Abdulmunin Jibrin, Rima Shawulu Kwewum heads Army, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, Aviation, Zakari Mohammed, Basic Education, Chike Okafor, Healthcare Services and Aminu Shehu Shagari Federal Judiciary.

Supporters of the House Leader, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila got committees including, Customs headed by James Faleke, and Rufa’i Chachangi as the Vice Chairman of the committee, Sani Zoro heads the newly created Internally Displaced Persons, IDP and Garba Muhammed as the committee chairman on Solid Minerals.

There was also a balance between the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the ruling party APC, heads 48 Committees, PDP 45 while All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA and the Social Democratic Party, SDP got one chairmanship slot each.

In the composition, the South heads 46 Committees while the North heads 50.

The House also compensated the South East APC members who were completely sidelined in the composition of the principal officers in line with the spirit of federal character as the two members Chike Okafor and Austin Chukwukere were made chairman Healthcare Services and vice chairman Finance respectively.

Those who retained the headships of their previous committees are Jones Onyeriri, Banking and Currency, Nkeiruka Onyejiocha, Aviation, Nnenna Ukeje, Foreign Affairs, Mohammed Munguno, Agriculture, Shehu Shagari, Judiciary, Nicholas Mutu, NDDC, and Aminu Suleiman, Education.

The new committees announced by the Speaker were Agricultural Colleges and Institutions chaired by Linus Okorie, Basic Education and Services, chaired byMuhammed Zakari, and Delegated Legislation which is headed by Simeon Arabo,

Others are FCT Judiciary, Laori Kwamoti, Health Institutions,Betty Apiafi, IDPs Refugees and Initiatives on North East, Headed by Sani Zoro Insurance and Actuarial Matters, Olufemi Fakeye, and Tertiary Education and Services which is chaired by Aminu Suleiman.

Because of the numerous institutions and parastatals in the health and education committees, the Speaker split them into two each for effective oversight.
