[BREAKING] Borno massacre: Reps divided over motion to invite Buhari for security explanation

…Invitation, not necessary-Gbajabiamila, Doguwa
…thunderous shouts of No, No-Borno Lawmakers
…as House abruptly goes into executive session

Members of the House of Representatives were divided at Tuesday plenary on whether or not to invite President Muhammadu Buhari to appear before them and offer explanation on the true security situation of the country.

An earlier circulated motion had prayed for the invitation of the president.

But the motion eventually moved by Hon. Satomi Ahmed on behalf other 10 Borno State lawmakers on the floor prayed the president to amongst other things, declare a State of emergency on security matters.

But the motion as presented didn’t sit down well with another Borno lawmaker, Hon. Ahamdu Jaha who relied on Order 6, Rule 1 of the House to say that the original motion to which all the lawmakers agreed on was to call on the President to address them on the security situation especially in the north east region.

He, therefore, amended the prayers of the motion.

“My amendment is that Mr. President should be invited to come and explain the security situation in the country especially in the northeast”, he said.

His amendment got the support of the House.

But the Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila said it was not necessary, stressing that the State of emergency prayer sufficed

This was however rejected by the House.

Similarly, the majority leader of the House, Ado Doguwa added his voice, saying that security issues can’t be discussed openly, pleading for the understanding of his colleagues not to summon the president.

His contribution was however greeted with a thunderous shout of No.

Seeing the rising tension and the determination of the lawmakers, the Speaker suddenly called for executive session to resolve the matter.

“Hon. Colleagues, I am a little bit disappointed with a lot of these no, no.

“This is not the spirit with which we started this 9th assembly.

“We will go into executive session to resolve this matter”, Gbajabiamila said

The House is yet to reconvene at the time of filing this report.

UPDATED:

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.

vickyfrancis1:
Buhari and all the security chiefs should be summoned.

Summoned or Sacked? Or do you mean Summoned and Sacked? I think Buhari and the useless inSecurity Chiefs should be summoned, sacked, persecuted for negligence of duties and jailed. Then, they should all be openly executed for killing thousands of Nigeria through their incompetency.

Will Buhari even honour their invitation?

“This is not the spirit with which we started this 9th assembly.

Don't worry yourself Gbaja. Very soon, you will become a spirit.

Continue.

Rubber stamp people.

"...Invitation, not necessary-Gbajabiamila, Doguwa.This is not the spirit with which we started this 9th assembly...."

See these imbeciles? They're even having conflicting opinions instead of initiating impeachment proceedings against the lifeless president for repeatedly refusing to do the needful nor sack his over worn service chiefs?

What will the president come to tell them-he is shocked, unaware or surprised as usual? They're planning to catch a glimpse of the failed president.

So let these stupid irresponsible rubberstamp HOR-NASS members continue to vacillate.It will surely get to them & their families.Meanwhile, there is obviously something this over worn out service chiefs know that Nigerians dont know.

summoning President Buhari is unnecessary waste of time and resources...

They should all agree and make our darling daddy a lifetime president.

Sai baba for 3rd term and for ever

When people/farmers were killed in benue,u all kept quiet.nobody invited buhari for security questioning...cos it happened in borno.u guys are inviting him..na GOD go judge una.

This is a welcome development. Enough of shilding the president from public interrogation. He should publicly expalin to Nigerians what he is doing about the worsening insecurity in the country. The killings are just too much. It is time to tell the president that enough is enough. He should fvcking resign if he cannot secure lives and properties of Nigerians again.

They should summon service chiefs instead

Ok

Hehehehehe

Someone you have not been able to summon any minister in his good book.

Even career civil and public servants ignore your summons.

See waste of summon from a Rubber stamp house.

When you can't even summon Burutai.

Efforts in futility while the senate president is now a presidential spokesperson.

Gbaja or what is his name is a complete disgrace to democracy.

Why are you convulsing like this? So you now agree that the lifeless man is truly a vegetable being shielded from public scrutiny by his equally clueless aides?

So you have now rationally seen that you have the right to ask Bubu to offer an explanation or resign as he bleeped up whether constitutionally or otherwise & it's not only #EndSARS protesters thing?

Guess you lots said we are wailers? Nigeria is safe and secure.Bubu is super competent.Abeg just encourage him to continue.So he should carry on.

hmm

Damnnn niggarrrr
Isoright

The end is near
Lol

Bubu once said...

Reps summon who

Why do i find this funny......which buhari? Mtchewwwwww

The House of Rape wants to show psuedo relevance.
Same house of rape that has been approving ridiculous loan of the presidency. Rubber stamp institution.

The presidency and his service chiefs thrives on the weak institutions we are having as a nation.
No wonder anything goes anyhow.

Abobi
Jibril will answer summon??
Lol

wetin una dey wait

Another waste of time and show of shame.

hmmmmm

Ok

the rubber stamp
