Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila. [PHOTO CREDIT: Official Twitter handle of Femi], has berated a coalition of civil society groups, for questioning the National Assembly for going on recess during ongoing probes it embarked on.
The coalition condemned the assembly for “failing to sit for 181 days as required by the Nigerian constitution”. “Now, because there is Covid and people are forced to stay in, it’s no excuse to continue work the way we continue. Mr Gbajabiamila said “that there is corruption in the country does not mean the courts will be hearing cases while on recess even though they have one or two courts opening for administrative purposes.”
