There was a rowdy session in the House of Representatives today as Lawmakers Clash Over Motion to Summon President Tinubu
The House of Representatives was thrown into a rowdy with heated debate over the alleged non-funding of constituency projects across the country.
Hon. Alex Mascot, member representing Aba North/Aba South Federal Constituency in Abia State, moved a motion demanding that President Bola Tinubu be summoned to the House to explain the persistent lack of funding for constituency projects.
The motion was seconded, with lawmaker proposing an amendment that the House should shut down for one week until the matter is fully resolved.
The proposal triggered sharp divisions. Hon. Yusuf Gagdi strongly opposed the motion, arguing that summoning the President was unnecessary since heads of relevant agencies are responsible for the implementation and funding of such projects. He also rejected the idea of closing the House for a week, describing it as unwarranted.
Gyandi’s counter-amendment faced stiff resistance from opposition members, leading to rowdy scenes as lawmakers shouted and traded arguments.
In an attempt to restore order, Speaker of the House, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, ruled that members should vote to take a clear stand on the matter.
