Akpabio: House of Reps rejects CFR award on Speaker Abbas, demands GCON honours by fergie001: 2:34pm On Oct 02
The House of Representatives has requested President Bola Tinubu to confer the same national honour on its Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, as was conferred on Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

The House rejected the description of being the “lower chamber” compared to the Senate, stating that Messrs Akpabio and Tajudeen are “first among equals.”

It also constituted an ad hoc committee, chaired by the House Leader, Julius Ihonvbere, to look into the issue and report to the House within three days.

These resolutions followed a motion of urgent public importance moved by Philip Agbese (APC, Benue) and supported by the 359 members of the House.

In his Independence Day broadcast, President Tinubu announced that the Senate President and Chief Justice of Nigeria were awarded the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON), while Messrs Tajudeen and Barau were conferred with the Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR).

Additionally, Mr Kalu was awarded the Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON).

The only person that deserves such honor at the moment is Seyi Tinubu.

His giant strides are of great impact to humanity, and he deserves such national honors.

What’s the precedent in this case? Has any incumbent speaker been conferred with GCON before?

The national honours had a bigger prestige under the military. None of the heads of state conferred on themselves gcfr. Ibb was CFR, abacha was gcon. I think abdulsalami was also gcon. Obj came and greedily grabbed the gcfr. Ever since then, even ex convicts get national honours. It's been a total bastardization, eventho I understand certain offices require their holders to get a conferment.

As regards who is precedent to the other, the constitution ought to answer that.

I think the SP is first, after all he is no 3 in hierarchy.

If they are equals then why are they separated,?
Why not just make them a single parliament??

Truth is that Senate is higher than Reps.

The Reps should rest.

Even though there are more important issues begging for prompt and and urgent attention the President of the country decides on whatever he chooses and at the time it soothes him.
On this particular issue, the President got it wrong as always, why give the number five citizen in the person of the newly sworn in Chief Justice Of The Federation, GCON and believe it is proper to give the number four citizen CFR, on what basis is he giving out these honours indiscriminately?
He should continue displaying his inefficiency in management. We are earnestly waiting for the new National Pledge just to keep us busy rehearsing.
