House of Reps set Oct 14 to vote on Confab report

The House of Representatives has announced it will present the report of the recently concluded national conference before the House for voting.

The Deputy Speaker and Chairman Special Ad hoc Committee on Constitutional Review, Emeka Ihedioha, said the Committee was set to lay the report before the House for voting upon resumption from the Salah break.

The notice was made public during sitting on Tuesday.

The House, in line with its legislative calendar, is to proceed on a two-week Salah break and resume plenary on October 14. The Deputy Speaker, who presided over Tuesday’s sitting, used the opportunity to call on members to make themselves available for the voting, adding that it is pertinent so as to capture the true wishes and aspirations of their constituents in the constitutional review process.

Also at the sitting, Arowosoge Ifeoluwa of the All Progressives Congress, urged the House to condemn the demeaning action of the thugs who attacked a court and beat up a judge and some judicial officials in Ekiti State. He also asked the lawmakers to make an official statement supporting the decision to investigate the matter by the National Judicial Council.

The House obliged him but postponed deliberations on the matter to the next legislative day.
