Wetin dey happen for the Green Chamber as House of Representatives don yan say dat minority caucus wey go form ad-hoc committee no get the correct authority to do so. Na wah o!
Spokesman of the House, Mr. Akin Rotimi, don come out with correct message wey show say e no gree for wetin dem dey do. He talk say dem form committee on top tax laws wey dem pass recently, but wetin dem do dey flawed like pepper soup wey no get spice!
Rotimi make am clear say even though dem dey allow minority caucus to express dem self for parliament, dat no mean say dem fit just wake up one day, form committee and start to dey investigate like say dem be proper body. No, no, no! E no go work like dat!
According to am, only the House fit form ad-hoc committee inside plenary session or na di Speaker dey hold dat power flex. So, no be every party wey dey shout minority or majority fit just gather people come form committee am dey lie!
Na dis kain action wey minority caucus dey take, Rotimi talk say, go just dey confuse people wey no sabi di koko. Abeg, dem don already set up another proper committee wey go check di matter since December 2025 after opposition lawmaker, Abdussamad Dasuki, raise alarm say e fit get wahala for di tax gazettes.
Di committee wey dey on top dis matter now na bipartisan combo, including lawmakers from both ruling and opposition side. Dem dey work sharply to balance di allegations wey don show for ground.
Rotimi come add say di formal legislative process don finish with full effect, and only di gazetted versions and certified copies wey dem release now na di correct ones. So any gisting wey no follow wetin House don confirm be pure jara!
Im don also give warning say any committee wey no come from di House or di Speaker no be official matter, na na politics dey play there. E be like say dem wan turn di matter upside down, but House no gree!
Na serious matter be dis o, as di House dey remind everybody say dem dey on top transparency and accountability wahala. E no go good make people dey chase shadows when di main work don dey settled upon already. Make we no forget say, na only di committees wey House set up wey get authority for di matter. Others na just hustle without any backing.
