Idris Ahmed Wase, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has explained why he rejected a petition on insecurity from Nigerians living abroad which was presented on the floor of the lower chamber of the national assembly by Mr Mark Gbillah who represents Gwer East-Gwer West constituency of Benue State.
The Deputy Speaker in a statement released by his media aide Umar Puma, stated that the petition from a socio-cultural association based in the United States which alleged that indigenes of their community have not been resettled in their ancestral land after being sacked by gunmen, was rejected "based on rules of parliamentary procedures.” He further stated that the Benue lawmaker was stopped from presenting the petition “based on the identity(ies) of the petitioners and not based on the fact that they are based outside Nigeria."
