Tinubu Makes U-Turn, Confers GCON On Speaker Abbas After Reps Protest by InfoGuru118: 8:40pm On Oct 04

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has conferred the nation’s second highest national honour, the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger, on the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, News360 Nigeria reports

This follows a protest by members of the lower chamber of the National Assembly.

In his 64th Independence Anniversary Speech on October 1, Tinubu had conferred the Commander of the Federal Republic( CFR) on the speaker and the deputy senate president.

But this development led to a debate in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, calling on the President to confer a higher honour on the Speaker.

In a statement on Friday, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, said Tinubu was persuaded by the House of Representatives position and has decided to remedy the “historical error and oversight”.

“Thus, he has decided to upgrade the Speaker to GCON from CFR, in accordance with the National Order of Precedence.

“The speaker, the Senate President, other principal officers of the National Assembly and the Chief Justice of Nigeria will be formally decorated with their new honours later.”

This is not how national awards are done. National awards are for recognizing people's special achievements in professions like science, art, etc. But in Nigeria, they are mostly used to recognise political positions.

Well deserved honour for the Speaker. GCON is not for everyone but for the worthy.
God bless Nigeria for ever!

That's really an aberration. National honors being dolled out without requisite achievement by the recipient, particularly the political leaders.

Tinubu has successfully turned the once revered National Award into some caricature. Dashing it out to every Tom, Dick, and Harry

Imagine giving someone a National award, and the award recipient rejects the award and demands a higher award, and our president stupidly and foolishly withdraws it and gives the higher award so demanded by the recipient

It's this not an aberration. An abnormality
