The House of Representatives descended into a rowdy session on Wednesday after lawmakers disagreed over a motion to summon President Bola Tinubu regarding the implementation of the 2025 budget.
Reps Clash Over Motion to Summon Tinubu
Plenary turned chaotic at the House of Representatives on Wednesday. Lawmakers clashed over a motion to summon President Bola Tinubu, according to Tribune Online.
The uproar began after Benedict Etanabene, representing Okpe/Sapele/Uvwie in Delta State, raised a point of privilege over a June 29 circular from Accountant-General Shamseldeen Ogunjimi. The circular directs MDAs to halt payments for constituency and zonal intervention projects unless vetted by the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs.
Etanabene urged the House to invite Tinubu to explain delays in implementing the 2025 budget, warning the circular could further stall the Appropriation Act’s execution.
This is a developing story. Further details are awaited.
