Reps Move to Summon Buhari over Borno Killings
The House of Representatives is considering a motion to invite Buhari to appear on the floor of the House and address the lawmakers in plenary.
This is sequel to a motion moved by members from Borno State on the recent massacre of 43 rice farmers in the state by Boko Haram insurgents.
Efforts by the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila; Majority Leader, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa; and Chairman, House Committee on Air Force, Shehu Koko, among others, to have the prayer dropped proved met break wall.
Gbajabiamila’s plea that a state of emergency is adopted instead was also rebuffed.
The speaker was forced to ask that the lawmakers have an executive (closed-door) session.
Emerging from the closed-door session, Gbajabiamila asked one of the sponsors of the motion, Ahmad Jaha, to amend the motion.
Jaha prayed the House to invite the president as proposed in the original motion.
The Speaker put the amended motion to a voice vote, and the lawmakers unanimously adopted it.
