The House of Representatives was on Wednesday thrown into a rowdy session as lawmakers clashed over a motion seeking to summon President Bola Tinubu to explain the alleged non-funding of constituency projects.

The motion, moved by Alex Mascot Ikwechegh (LP – Abia State), called on the President to appear before the House over the persistent delay in funding constituency projects across the country.

The motion was seconded, while another lawmaker proposed an amendment that the House suspend plenary for one week until the issue was resolved.

The proposals sparked a heated debate on the floor of the chamber.

Yusuf Gagdi (APC – Plateau State) opposed the motion, arguing that there was no basis for summoning the President since the implementation and funding of constituency projects fall within the responsibilities of the relevant ministries, departments and agencies.

He also rejected the proposal to suspend legislative activities for one week, describing it as unnecessary.

Gagdi’s position drew opposition from some lawmakers, resulting in shouting matches and disorder in the chamber.

As tensions escalated, Speaker Tajudeen Abbas intervened and directed that the House vote on the matter to determine its position.

Is Tinubu above this country

Legitbeauru:
You people didn’t summon him over the poor state of living of common Nigerians ? You didn’t summon him over the deadly insecurity that has ravaged the entire country? Those Ogbomosho children and their teachers are still in the bush under the oppression of bandits and kidnappers, you never thought of summoning Tinubu over their case. Indeed, there was a country called Nigeria.
