No Crack in House of Representatives, Says Spokesman – TheNigerialawyer

The spokesman for the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin
Kalu (APC-Abia), has said there is no crack among members of the
House of Representatives.

In a statement he issued yesterday in Abuja, Kalu urged the
public to ignore reports in the media suggesting there is division
in the house.

He said that the House led by Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has no
division either among the principal officers or the membership and
the leadership.

“It is important to note that comparatively, since the Fifth
Republic, the Ninth Assembly remains the most united house.

“Members are motivated by the leadership culture and style of
the speaker which have been selfless. “It is focused on true
nation-building which has been bought by the membership who have
all keyed into the legislative agenda set as the road map towards
the achievement of this mission,” he said

According to him, one or two dissenting voices as expected may
not completely be on board the mission train.

The lawmaker said that such negligible opinion would not
represent the majority interest of the 9th House of
Representatives

Kalu urged the public to focus on the 15 agenda of the 9th
Assembly and what it represents for the people of Nigeria.

The spokesmen said that ”the media is a recognised and an
important partner in the nation-building task”.

The parliamentarian urged the media to be mindful of encouraging
peddling of baseless rumours, propaganda and other forms of
information disorder.

Kalu said that beyond being the traditional source of news, ”the
media remains the strategic tool for national peace, unity and
progress”.
