Reps Adjourn After Executive Session

The House of Representatives yesterday adjourned plenary abruptly after holding an executive session that lasted almost one hour.

Shortly after the opening prayer and national pledge, Speaker Tajudeen Abbas read a letter from one of the members, announcing the death of the wife a former member of the House and All Progressives Congress (APC) Leader in Lagos State, Prince Tajudeen Olusi.

The Speaker also announced that the House would break into a short executive session before delving into the business of the day.

Immediately the House returned to plenary, Abbas asked the House Leader to move a motion for adjournment till the next legislative day.

But as House Leader Julius Ihonvbare moved the motion for the adjournment, the House became rowdy against its rules, which require that there should be silence when a member is speaking.

Ihonvbare’s motion was seconded by Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda.

No reason was given for the decision to adjourn the House.

Lawmakers were not willing to speak on the reason for the sudden adjournment as many of them insisted there was nothing wrong with the development.

Also, House Spokesman Akin Rotimi told the newsmen that “there was no big deal about the adjournment”.

He said,

“We had an executive session to resolve a lot of issues and that took quite some time. After that, we felt that it was better to adjourn and resume plenary tomorrow because the time was far spent. So, there is nothing to it, really.”

The House had come under criticism in the last few days over its plan to buy official vehicles valued at over N130 million for each member, with the Labour Party (LP) asking its members in the House not to accept the cars.
