Reps Debunk Apologising to Buhari over Invitation on Security Challenges

BY SIAKA MOMOH

The Spokesperson for the House of Representatives, Mr.Benjamin Kalu, has debunked speculation making the rounds that the House tendered apologies to President Muhammadu Buhari, over the invitation it extended to him on the wave of insecurity in the country.

In a statement, made available to EXTRAORDINAIRENews.Com, on Monday, said that it came to the knowledge of the House that few sections of the media reported that the House apologized to the Presidency over the resolution of the House which arose from the motion sponsored by members from Borno State.

 The House recently requested the invitation of the President to brief the nation on the state of insecurity in the country, he said.

Kalu said: “The President or the Presidency as the case may be, never sought for an apology from the House of Representatives for carrying out her constitutional responsibility to the Nigerian electorate.

“Where then did the media get the report that the House as an institution apologized to anyone? Media professionals are advised to uphold the ethics of their profession.”

For the avoidance of doubt, Kalu, explained that the House never apologized to anyone for exercising her constitutional mandate and the 9th Assembly of the House of Representatives under the leadership of Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila will not do anything to desecrate or destroy the critical institution of democracy – the Legislature.

“We strongly believe that President Muhammadu Buhari subscribes to these democratic ethos and ideals as well.” He said.
