Tukur
By Emman Ovuakporie & Levinus Nwaguhiogu
ABUJA — MEMBERs of the House of Representatives, yesterday,
declared the National Assembly a no go area for chairman of Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur.
Also, a member, Kingsley Chinda, was shown the other side of the
coin when the authentic PDP members ensured he stepped down his
motion, tagged: “Need to check incessant clashes among security
agencies in the country.”
The lawmakers, who spoke to Vanguard anonymously, said since
Alhaji Abubakar Baraje, chairman of the authentic Peoples
Democratic Party’s, PDP, meeting was disrupted, Tukur should not
bother to come.
The source said any attempt by Tukur to
come to the House of Representatives
would be resisted by them.
”If he dares us, his nakedness would be
shown to the world, that I can assure
you,“ he said.
Another source also told Vanguard that
“initially, we planned a total boycott of
his visit but from what happened on
Tuesday, a mere boycott would not be
enough. “
On Chinda’s motion, it was so glaring that
some members apparently belonging to
the Baraje faction wanted to give him a bitter pill over his role in the
disruption of Tuesday’s meeting.
Immediately the presiding officer, Emeka Ihedioha, introduced the
motion mentioning Chinda’s name, the mood of the legislators
changed.
Nkem Abonta representing Abia State, had risen to read the motion
on behalf of Chinda when he suddenly stepped into the chamber.
Ihedioha summoned him to go ahead and make his presentation, but
he wanted to make an amendment in the second paragraph.
This was put to voice vote and it was glaring that the nays had it
but the presiding officer thought otherwise.
Ihedioha, however, pleaded with his colleagues to support members
with their motions and bills without prejudice.
Apparently sensing danger that the motion would be killed, Chinda
stepped down his motion, saying”I will present this later, definitely
not today.”
It would be recalled that it was the same Chinda who passionately
pleaded with members on the floor of the House that peace and
orderliness be maintained.
He moved a motion that the House should pass a vote of confidence
on the leadership of the House which was unanimously endorsed by
all members.
But later that same Tuesday, Chinda led the clapping event that
immensely disrupted Baraje’s caucus meeting with the PDP.
