The House of Representatives has called for sanctions against the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, and six Area Council Chairmen over insubordination and disregard for the House.
A member of the House Committee on FCT Area Council and Ancillary, Ikonne Ifeanyi, made the demand during the committee’s meeting in Abuja on Tuesday. According to him, it was a show of disrespect and lack of regard for the House that the Minister and his council chairmen refused to appear before the House after they were needed on invitation.
Fredrick Agbedi, said he viewed the action of the minister and the council chairmen as a breach of their constitutional responsibilities and a disservice to the people they serve. He said the six area council chairmen had not flagged off, completed, or commissioned any project in the area councils, unlike the Minister. “This is appalling considering the huge monthly allocation running into billions of Naira to each of the six area councils in the last year and beyond,” he said.
