As an aftermath of the leadership crisis that broke out at the House of Representatives during plenary on Thursday, the Speaker of the House, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, was forced to announce a long adjournment of plenary till July 21, 2015.
Before announcing the adjournment, the Speaker reminded the members that they belong to a priviledged class amongst Nigerians and should as such conduct themselves in a peaceful manner and face the task of providing qualitative leadership to Nigerians.
Dogara expressed his disappointment over the ongoing squabble, saying that Nigerians are in high expectation for members to hit the ground running on legislative matters, and that as long as members remain divided, effective legislation will be impossible.
He asserted that disagreement was inevitable, but not the one that will frustrate the job they are expected to do and jeopardize nationhood.
