GCON or Nothing! – House of Representatives Reject CFR Award for Tajudeen Abbas

the House of Representatives has turned down the National Honour conferred on Speaker TAJUDEEN ABBAS, stating that President BOLA TINUBU discriminated against the House by giving Senate President GODSWILL AKPABIO a higher honour.

It would be recalled that on Tuesday, TINUBU announced the award of Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) on Akpabio and Chief Justice of Nigeria, KUDIRAT KEKERE EKUN, while TAJUDEEN ABBAS and Deputy Senate President JIBRIN BARAU got the Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR).

Following a motion of urgent public importance moved by PHILIP AGBESE, at the plenary today, the House resolved that members in the Green Chamber are not inferior to Senators, and therefore, both leaders should be treated equally.

The motion, signed by 360 members of the House, called for the abolition of the upper chamber and lower chamber nomenclature, stating that both chambers are equal.

House of Reps Pushes for Measures to Combat Flooding Across the Country

The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Ministries of Water Resources and Environment to direct the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency to implement measures aimed at preventing flooding across the country.

The House also called on the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation, to begin the dredging of the nation’s major dams and rivers to prevent excessive flooding.

It should be recalled that a few weeks ago, heavy flooding claimed lives and destroyed properties in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, and Zamfara states, among others. Federal and state governments, as well as concerned individuals, have since led humanitarian interventions to alleviate the victims’ plight.

The resolutions of the House followed the adoption of a motion sponsored by the lawmaker representing Zaki Federal Constituency, Bauchi State, MOHAMMED SHEHU, who emphasized that dredging Nigeria’s major dams and rivers is crucial to mitigating the devastating impact of floods on farmers and their crops.

PDP Blasts Tinubu Over Independence Day Speech

The Peoples Democratic Party has stated that President BOLA TINUBU’s 64th Independence Speech further underscored the All Progressives Congress’s insensitivity towards Nigerians.

In a statement on Tuesday, PDP National Publicity Secretary, DEBO OLOGUNAGBA described the speech as a complete waste of time, noting that it failed to address or offer solutions to the numerous economic and security issues caused by the APC government affecting Nigerians.

In a national broadcast for Nigeria’s 64th Independence anniversary yesterday, President TINUBU emphasized the need for reform to ensure progress and prosperity, warning against continuing business as usual, which could lead to collapse.

The PDP criticised the speech for failing to address the struggles of millions of Nigerians, highlighting concerns about emerging totalitarianism where a select few benefit from the suffering of the populace.
