Kogi State House of Assembly
It was dramatic as seven members of the Kogi State House of
Assembly loyal to factional speaker, Umar Imam, convened sitting on
Tuesday, against the directive of both the upper and lower national
chambers. This has raised suspicious that a further clash of power with
the National Assembly might soon follow.
The factional speaker, Imam didn't waste time as he took his seat
at exactly 12noon, and quickly commenced proceedings. Midway into the
session, he noted that some members were absent and asked for others to
take their seats before proceeding.
Having waited for a brief moment, without the desires quorum, he adjourned sitting to Thursday, March 24.
He said: “Gentlemen, we have waited for our members who have
been travelling around Abuja to come, and therefore adjourn till 24th of
March.”
It would be recalled that last week, the House of Representatives ordered the closure of the Kogi assembly as well as taking over its function, following the protracted leadership crisis rocking the state assembly.
