Following the tension generated by agitation in the country, the House of Representatives has resolved to revisit the issue of devolution of power bill on resumption of plenary.

The green chamber also plans to strengthen the unity of the country by assigning a high power committee to go round the country to interact with stakeholder across the six geo-political zones.

The House arrived at these resolutions following a motion moved by House majority leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, under matters of urgent public importance, The Independent reports.


Gbajabiamila in the motion called on the House to as a matter of urgency address issues regarding agitations with a view to protecting the unity of the country.

‎He said: "Mr. Speaker, these issues regarding agitations were all over the place, from the East, the West, the North and South. And we have as a responsibility to speak with one voice as a House and bring healing and reconciliation to our dear country.

‎"So I ask, are we going to play the ostrich and act as if nothing is wrong? We have swore to protect the unity and ensure the progress of this country and that we should be seen to be doing; and like it was said, the task of keeping this nation one is a task that must be done." ‎

have they finally woken up from​ their slumber?
thank God for the kanu effect.

What nonsense stakeholders? Who are this stakeholders? Are they close to the masses or do they feel their pain? They should go on SM and get facts or STFU

This might be the beginning of real legislation and true pratice of democracy by our legislooters if meant business

We need them to do the needful when needs arises.

These people have no role to play as much as I concerning but just want to jeopardize the process being carried out by the All progressive Party (APC) on restructuring. Don't forget they did the same thing in 2014 when the National Confab was going on, it was that particular time they setup a community on the same matter going on in National Confab. Meanwhile, they have been seen the sign that at the end of all the process on restructuring it will affect them most especially from the North because North East Governors have settled on having bicameral Legislator. Thus, They are just trying to protect their own interest not Nigerians.

keep denying the obvious. we all know that the KANU effect brought the issue of restructuring to the front burner
