The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi
Gbajabiamila, has convened an emergency session of the House less than 24 hours
before the transition to a new administration after eight years of President
Muhammadu Buhari.
The lawmakers will convene by 1 pm.
The agenda for the emergency session has not been disclosed
yet.
It was learnt the session could be for the purpose of
amending the CBN Act, which the Senate passed on Saturday.
President Buhari is believed to be seeking means to resolve
the N23.7 trillion ways and means loan from the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Earlier, both chambers gave the nod to securitising the loan
by converting it to bond.
The House, however, has become unpredictable in the past
couple of weeks due to the ongoing fight between Gbajabiamila and his deputy,
Idris Wase.
Recall that the duo of Gbajabiamila and Wase had a public
spat on Wednesday over the sitting of the House, as the former continues to
prevent the convening of the House in his absence amid speculation of
impeachment.
Wase, one of the candidates for the speakership, is believed
to be angry with Gbajabiamila for endorsing Tajudeen Abbas as Speaker for the
incoming 10th House of Representatives.
