The House of Representatives on Wednesday stepped down a motion to reverse President Buhari’s Executive Order prohibiting the issuance of licenses for fire arms by the police in Nigeria.
Representative Uzoma Nkem Abonta (PDP- Abia), the sponsor of the motion, failed to present the motion on notice when the public address system went off just after the Speaker had introduced it. The lawmaker, however pressed to be heard, when the House Leader, Rep. Alhassan Doguwa (APC-Kano), interjected saying the motion was “dead on arrival”, because according to him, it was an unpopular subject. Abonta resorted to stepping down of the motion as appealed for further legislative consultation.
