The plenary in the House of representatives turned rowdy yesterday following the disagreement among lawmakers over a motion seeking to summon President Bola Tinubu.
The lawmaker representing Okpe/Sapele/Uvwie federal constituency in Delta State, Hon. Benedict Etanabene, had raised a point of privilege to draw the attention of the House to a June 29 circular by the Accountant General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi.
Ogunjimi, had through the memo directed all federal ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) to immediately stop processing payments for constituency and Zonal Intervention Projects (ZIPs) unless they had been formally vetted by the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs.
