The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila on Wednesday adjourned plenary indefinitely over fear of possible impeachment plot by some lawmakers.
Gbajabiamila, who presided over plenary after weeks of recess, called for adjournment over speculation of his impeachment.
He hinged the adjournment on the current induction by members-elect.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered that some lawmakers had perfected plans to impeach Gbajabiamila over the imposition of Rep. Tajudeen Abbas as the consensus candidate for the 10th House of Reps. Speaker
Some of the lawmakers who spoke with NAN on the impeachment plot under the condition of anonymity alleged that the speaker adjourned the plenary because of the fear of impeachment .
Rep. Ahmed Wase, the Deputy Speaker had in a swift move opposed Gbajabiamila, claiming the adjournment was needless but it was rejected.
Wase said the adjournment was not proper; adding that the induction could be going on simultaneously with plenary just like it was done at the Senate.
According to Wase, I respect the view of distinguish colleagues, Rep Ibrahim Isaka, who moved for the adjournment, but I think Mr Speaker this institution has a lot memories.
