The House of Representatives did not sit on Thursday following the anger expressed by Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila over certain developments.
The Speaker had arrived at the Chamber around 11.20 am only to discover that there was no Order Paper for the days business, and the Clerk of the House not being in his seat.
He also found the chamber scanty with only few members seated at the time he got in.
Angry over the development, the speaker adjourned the plenary till next week.
He said, “I am going to hold you (the clerk) responsible, I am going to hold whoever is responsible. This House sits at 11.00 am, everybody knows that. This is 11:20 am, when I came in, there was nobody in this row. You were not here, none of your deputies were here. The order paper is not ready, we cannot function as a House.
“What kind of thing is that, that we are now forced to adjourn plenary. Everybody should see me in my office, House adjourned till Tuesday.”
