Plenary at the House of
Representatives was disrupted by some members over
the nomination of principal officers. The disruption on Thursday by some
lawmakers, who protested a call by the Speaker for an Executive Session, turned
the session into a rowdy one.
According to reports from
the National Assembly on Tuesday, June 23 2015, the APC had written to the
Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara, listing out the lawmakers that should fill
the party’s remaining four leadership positions.
Speaking at a parley with
former House Representatives members, Representative Dogara, however, said that
the fracas that occurred in the House of Reps chambers last Thursday (June 25)
was inexcusable and unacceptable.
The
Speaker said that although he had wanted to act on the party’s letter
nominating some persons as principal officers of the House, as a law abiding
citizen he was compelled to do otherwise as a result of a pending court case
instituted by about 36 APC lawmakers from the North Central zone. The APC
lawmakers alleged that the party had scheme them out in violation of
constitutional provision on Federal Character Principle.
For House Leader, Honorable
Femi Gbajabiamila from South-west zone was selected and Honorable Ado
Doguwa of the North-west zone was nominated for the position of Deputy House
Leader. Honorable
Mohammed Monguno from the North-east zone was chosen as the Chief Whip while Honorable
Pelly Iriase from the South-south zone was selected for Deputy Chief Whip.
