Kogi House of commotion: Fresh crisis as Bello brands lawmakers ‘terrorists’

The Kogi House of Assembly is in for another round of crisis.

This is following the suspension of nine members of the House over alleged terrorism, and anti-party activities. This has not gone down well with the aggrieved lawmakers who have vowed to fight back to reclaim their seats.

This is not the first time that the Kogi State House of Assembly has been enmeshed with crisis.

DAILY POST reports that the Kogi House of Assembly is not new to crisis.

Back in February 16, 2016, five lawmakers, out of a 20-member House, sat and purportedly removed the then Speaker, Honourable Momoh Jimoh Lawal who was said not to be in the good books of the State Government.

Citing relevant sessions in the House rules, the lawmakers aired their views that five was greater than 15, insisting that they have formed a quorum to impeach a sitting Speaker and elect a new one. The coup against Lawal was led by the former lawmaker representing Igalamela Odolu Constituency, Friday Sanni Makama who was also suspended and never returned to the chamber till the expiration of 6th Assembly in Kogi State.
