The Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Hon. Philip Agbese, has dismissed reports of an alleged plot by lawmakers to challenge Speaker Abbas Tajudeen and the House leadership when plenary resumes later this month.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, Agbese described the claims as speculative and a deliberate attempt to sow discord in the Green Chamber.
According to him, members remain united behind the Speaker, stressing that the reported grievances over staff recruitment were based on misinformation. He clarified that recruitment is handled by the National Assembly Service Commission, an independent body, and not the Speaker or the leadership of the 10th House.
“The confidence of members in Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen is not negotiable. Since his emergence, the Speaker has demonstrated fairness, respect for colleagues, and commitment to members’ welfare as well as constituency development,” Agbese said.
He noted that Speaker Abbas has already set up two special committees, chaired by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu and former Deputy Speaker Idris Wase, to look into issues raised.
Agbese assured that when the House reconvenes on September 23, focus would shift to national priorities such as constitutional review, insecurity, economic reforms, and budget implementation.
He urged the media to verify information before publication to avoid undermining the legislature’s cohesion and its relationship with Nigerians.
