House of Reps Erupts in Heated Clash Over Motion to Summon President Tinubu

Lawmakers in the House of Representatives erupted on July 8 over a motion to summon President Tinubu for poor budget implementation and delays in releasing funds to MDAs. Hon. Mascot Ikwechegh argued that while trillions of naira fund coastal roads, Nigerians continue to face daily kidnappings and violence. Opponents of the motion challenged its wording, triggering a 30-minute exchange. Speaker Tajudeen Abbas ruled the motion out of order, noting that the prayers read on the floor differed from the originally submitted text. The confrontation highlights growing frustration over fiscal accountability and security lapses, and it amplifies calls for the presidency to explain persistent budget delays and worsening insecurity.
