The House of Representatives Tuesday rushed through the
legislative business of the day, decrying the unbearable heat in the chamber.
A member of the House, Rep. Haruna Dederi (APC-Kano),
through Point of Order, had pleaded for the plenary to be adjourned.
While raising the order, he said “Sir, Order 7 of the rules
of this House has given you powers to absolutely control whatever goes on here
to preserve decorum.
“To preserve the atmosphere within which we should operate.
We are suffocating because the place is extremely hot.
“In my opinion Sir, we could have a way of either adjourning
the business of the day or give time so that the air conditioners can be out in
proper shape.
“Whatever thing that you can do to save us from this
physical situation in which we live”.
In his response, the Speaker said, “It is a good point and
it is something I just confirmed with the deputy speaker.
“I think what we would do is, read your titles and go to
your prayers, we put the question to debates and we try and run through this as
quickly as we can because we have a couple of matters under consideration for
committee of the whole, which I think we should quickly address.
“We take this one and go straight to consideration of
reports, so we can leave here”.
Tuesday, makes it the second time the House, would be
cutting short business, due to inconvenience in the Chamber.
