There’s palpable fear in the National Assembly as three lawmakers’ wives died during Christmas break due to complications from COVID-19.
TheNewsGuru.com, TNG reliably gathered that after the death of the wives of the three lawmakers, there were moves to start meeting once in a week instead of the usual thrice a week.
On Wednesday, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila had arrived one hour forty five minutes late and immediately after reading his welcome speech, the house went into an executive session which lasted about one hour.
Details of the session could not be obtained but TNG gathered that one of the issues discussed is not unconnected to the ravaging COVID-19.
Sitting once a week definitely will slow down legislative business.
