Furious House of Reps Members Summon Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello...Find Out Why

 

For failure to obey the resolution of the House, a resolution was passed today by the House of Representatives to summon the governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.

 

Recall that the House had in March taken over the functions of the Kogi State Assembly following the leadership crisis that engulfed the state legislature after the impeachment of its speaker, Momoh Jimoh, by five members.

 

The federal House of Representatives had consequently ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase to close the state assembly, pending when the matter would be resolved.

 

According to DailyTrust, the Imam's faction continued to carry out their legislative proceedings unhindered, a situation that angered members of the House.

 

Thus, adopting a motion by Rep Chukwuemeka Ujam (PDP, Enugu) today, the House said Bello must appear before it to explain why he allowed the state assembly to continue their sitting and even presenting the state budget to them.

 

Bello is to appear before an ad-hoc committee of the House set up on the matter chaired by House Leader Femi Gbajabiamila.
