Coronavirus: Reps to suspend plenary for two weeks Follow our live updates on Coronavirus

The House of Representatives has resolved to suspend plenary for two weeks for fear of coronavirus spreading to the National Assembly.

The resolution was part of the prayers of a motion moved by Mr. Josiah Idem at the plenary on Tuesday, which was unanimously adopted. The Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu, particularly made the additional prayer to the motion that the lawmakers adjourn for two weeks to allow adequate preparation for the disease at the National Assembly Complex.Receive Alerts on:

Hmmmm!!! Should workers also suspend duties for two weeks because of coronavirus disease? A typical example of leaders who run away from responsibilities.

These ones ain't ready for work hitherto

Nigerian is are crooks no coronia virus in Nigeria

Lazy mofos!!

Good! So they won't be passing further draconian Bills for a while

House of Jokers sending wrong signals with unconfirmed fake news to the populace!

Any need?

Here we go again. I knew the whole coronavirus in Nigeria is a scam to pull out funds and be lazy while enjoying it. When do we experience change for once. Why suspend plenary? Is anyone infected there?

Yeah to beef up security and medical staff at the airport. Awon alaini nkan shey

Like who care?

Perhaps they need to be quarantined.

No like the plenary meetings will affect us positively..

😂😂😂😂😂 them no dey waste time. worst parliamentarians ever

Yet they could not ask schools to close for 3 weeks

Mitchewwww

What

Oh! How they love their skins...🙄

Like they have been useful to us before

See dem...... Pple wey wan go gbajabiamila mama byday Shiorrrr😂

With No pay?

Then what ?

Lazy ass people

If they are suspending plenary over corona virus den I think schools should be closed as well

Lol. What's the difference? Even when there was no corona virus, what usefulness do they have.? Rubbish set of people

Hahahahahaha... look at this gathering of jokers

For what na? Then no work no pay policy should be invoked on them. They had better work and make laws that will fight the corona virus

You can even go for a year if you so desire cus the nassnigeria has always been very useless right from inception.

While they go home to rest, other Nigerians will be busy working. What's the essence of this recess?

Why

And I voted these people as my representative!. They are not even thinking about the populace only themselves. Eni amori ibaku, amori gan, ero orun.

This men are so useless!oh the same people who flew to Dubai to celebrate their speaker mother’s birthday and now scared to go to work even after we are CV free?shithole country

Bad leaders abandoning duty on tax payer money, instead of staying up and fighting for their voters

Cowards!

Imagine and I'm inside the creeks of Niger Delta to keep oil flowing so as to get dem paid!!! nonsense

Dem de session bfo? Think say they are on recess oh

Set awon oloshi

Lazy set of people oh if they were business owners would they have let all workers go on break? Wondering what threat in corona virus is to them than those is Italy ....

Olodo people that dont Want to work before

As if they have been working before! 😏

I wish school is close for two weeks.

Is there any visible difference between when you are in plenary and when you are not?

Schools, Churches and Mosques should be shut down as well.

People that are going to Dubai for birthday

C dese yeye people o, I said it this people no get work femigbaja

sagaysagay

They should keep on deceiving their self. Stupid people

Not like they were doing anything before

Because of corona virus or for mama birthday in Dubai 😁😁

This is just a little signs of the HOUR, we can only run, but we cannot hide when the time comes

Better to be safe than sorry. But eehn, will the other institutions also shut down because of Coronavirus? 🤔 These men just need time to flex

We are sending u guys to wuhan for an economic summit...

Una nor first ready

Useless lazy Parliament. Any small thing break.

Averagely, that's the true replica/reflection of who we are. Not political party, Not Religion, Not Ethnicity!

How sensible is that? Kini a gbe kini a ju? Workers are going to their offices hence no reason for suspension of their plenary for two weeks.

We are known for lamentation! Continue

Kinowonshey nibe tele

Virus no go respect honorable. If na campaign time radio no rest with adverts. Do it now for our safety. But what is the emergency action they initiated for the masses? Gloves, masks, sparys etc. The overloading taxi like sardine should stop forever. No skin contact.

Who notice our Bubu never travel this days. 😂😂😂 fear or corona 😂😂

A ploy for time for dubai tourism.

They should suspend their salaries and allowances too.

Yinmu😏

as if the virus is in abuja...these people lazy

Na lie...The speaker wants to go to Dubai to do birthday ni...

Lol. To avoid stories that touch

Will their allowances be suspended?

Jokers

All I can is 'old and young lazy fools' in the house😂

😂😂😂

Am just speechless........🤔

What an excuse to be lazy. Oya Nigerian workers stay at home for two weeks to prevent the spread of Covid19.

Jumbo Pay and nothing to show for it.. Nigerians always at the losing end! Shame of a Nation..

😀😀😀😀😀😀Fear no gree dem, because of what happened in the Iranian Parliament.

...lazy people! 😂

When u see this idiots sitting anyhow in the chamber u kn immediately that this are not serious people. Criminals to the highest order not organized at all

They kuku don't want to work before

Awon ti wan fe nkan se...😏

These thieves need a reason to not work, steal money and get paid as well.

Jobless people...

Lazy Nigerians... And some dullards would still defend them

Shebi they will shaa not suspend their salaries😏.. Awon eni_eleni.. 'Won b'aye n'ibi toh ti daa'--'they met life in d place dat is good' 😃.. God will judge us all someday

Looking at this through the needle’s eye you’ll discover this break is to allow for enough time for them to party hard in Dubai during the one week birthday celebration of the Speaker’s femigbaja mother. Thank me later.

They were never relevant just there sharing money no single impact on d common citizens on d street's

Lazy dudes

Could this be the opportunity for members to attend Gbajabiamila mother’s birthday in Dubai and still collect allowance that is not worked for?

So,if they suspend sitting for two weeks will corona virus be eliminated from Nigeria

Good idea. Corona holiday. Guess we should shut down the country and we all stay at home for 2 weeks. Pampered conmen as legislators. 😔

Lazy Nigerian law makers

Awọn àlàíníkàn ṣè

Useless lots

on what bases lazy people

They are Scared of coronavirus in the house. Lol!

To go and do what? Access the state of the Italian? Dialogue with the Ministry of health? Enlightenment programs in their constituencies? These bunch are just collecting salaries for nothing, other than living large.

You are all doing well.

I said it before & I'm saying again; this Naija coronavirus saga nah SCAM!

Every excuse not to work but still expect allowance at the end of the month. China, Italy etc should be the ones suspending public meetings cos of CoronaVirus not the so called Nigerian law makers.

Awon wèré wetin be their own inside now.

Cowards😂😂 They should gather and share the sitting allowance please🤣🤣

Lazy 9ijerian youth

They should likely go to China for assistance to combat coroner virus or else what is the reason for the break.

Stupid leaders that thinks of there own welfare. You didn't bother to close school and other public places. Fools

Fear of coronavirus 😂😂😂

krazeebobby What happens to the allowance due for those periods? Just curious 😳

For what? These guys are stupid.

They should also suspend their salary and allowance. Foolish reps!

Any excuse to stay out of work. I wonder if they'll also suspend salaries for same period...🤔 Disrespectful, wasteful and unproductive bunch nassnigeria femigbaja

Sorry for Nigeria. No spirit of sacrifice.

O ri awon lazy rep, how does corona virus affect them?

A time where all hands should be on deck to discuss the way forward in case of a serious outbreak....

Self leaders not even to think of our children in schools that are expose daily.

What does it change

This Nigeria's coronavirus case has too many stories. They should have tied it up well before breaking it out, haba! This is badly planned na. I'm a good script writer and open for business please.

Lazy people

I said it that all this people does not have our best interest at heart and. All they care for is about themselves. They don't want to be infected. Even when the virus is under control.

Efulefu people. Ah ah.

I love this country 😂😂

Suspend what, their payments?, they are just lazy, how are they at risk compared to a lot of nigerians,they should just shutdown the country

We just started

Even in China, Italy and Iran, they never suspended plenary. May God deliver this country

What were they doing before? Waste of Government funds

This people are just mad anyhow. They should kuku say that the presidency should be suspended too and other arms of government. And the economy where they fetch money from too should be suspended. Awon were jati jati

This is the only thing they know how to do best nothing else

Lazy and jobless people...but that won't stop sharing of money o...awon werey

Woah then schools, and offices and govt parastatals should be shut too

Just see people abeg.. Nawa oooo.

Is there something they are not telling us

Soft work.

Dem no kukuma get work na to talk how they are strong in bed by bringing be there four wife's to the chamber

Lazy buffoons. You are suspending sittings in solidarity with Corona virus or what? This is the time your voters need you to sit and fashion out strategies for the plague. Or maybe you are rushing out to meet up with your speaker's N500 million Dubai party 😤

I don’t think China has even suspended theirs. They should suspend their allowance as well o.

When governments of other nations are working round the clock to combat Corona Virus, Nigerian government is going on break because members of government are scared of contacting Corona Virus. A people get the government they deserve.

😆😆😆set''' awon'''.....salary and allowee will follow for suspension🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeye de smell

Jokers!!!!!

Lazy Reps.

May be they would be the one to treat the infected Italian man because there be allawanc thereafter.

Then it should be removed from their pay proceeds used to make borehole in places where need be

Make e na talk say u a wan go run personal business

Smh, lazy bastards!! Do nothing HoA!!

I think they need the virus. Probably it would curtail the corruption tendencies on them. 🙂🙂

Mumu people

These idiots in the news again for the wrong reason.

Do we even need these people?

So Rep are now scared abi? Ok oh I'm watching

Let go party in dubai,who else should stay in the country , but took days of for speakers mother birthday.

Should work offices and schools be suspended too?

These people are mad o,schools are in session, workers are going to work nationwide,and these fools want to go on holiday for 2weeks cause of coronavirus.. a de shi'lu yaa o

Lazy law makers

I see you all love yourselves very much, you want to suspend plenary cos of the Corona virus...how about suspending schools & public gatherings for all Nobody is super immune including ur children that school all over the world.

Don't even try it. In fact u guys should visit Iranian parliament to discuss the social media bill.😠

Lol... Something I was saying that they would likely do on Saturday. I trust them, them nor dey take their own life play. Dem too like life and enjoyment. Yeye people

But workers must go to work to keep the economy running, right. The Reps should come back to the chambers ooo🤣🤣

This people get problems oooo,so they don't work for 2 weeks because of corona...

Unto what! I wish this 2 weeks will be without break. nassnigeria is the scam in the arms of government.

Awon alaininkan se

Let them go and use that 2 weeks at airports and Isolated camps for the Quarantined coronavirus patients. That is community work too far better than legislative duty at this time we are.

On what basis Then all government offices and all schools should be closed too The threat is under control at the moment and no immediate threat in the FCT so what is this response Lazy people.

Nonsense

They want to escape... Who won die🤣🤣 This country is just shit

Reps Last Week: Immunity for presiding officers, others top discussionLast week, a couple of bills scaled second reading in the House of Representatives. Below are the reports and other major activities of the House. Bunch of vultures on agbada & Senator suits preying on the misery of their people.
