Newly elected members of the House of
Representatives are threatening to sue the leadership of the House for
tampering with the rules of the House.
The new members, in a press statement in Abuja on Monday, gave the outgoing leadership an ultimatum to reverse the rules or face court action.
A statement signed by the leaders of the Seventh Assembly, which is a pressure group set up by the newly elected members to protect their interest, said they had appraised all those campaigning for the office of the Speaker and other principal officers of the House and found them not capable.
The statement was signed by the leaders of the Seventh Assembly Group, Abdulmimin Jubrin, Dakku Peterside, Ibrahim Gusau, Tony Nwoye, Aisha Binaai, Yusuf Manu, Auwal Dahiru Saleh, Nadu karibo, Tony Okeh, Kyari Gujbawu, Rose Okoh, Jones Chukwudi, Busari Olayemi and Robinson Uwak.
They, therefore, said unless the House reversed the order, which will not allow anyone of them to aspire to lead the House, they would challenge the House in the court.
They also vowed that they would soon announce the names of their candidates for the Speaker and Deputy Speaker.
The said they had contacted three three Senior Advocates of Nigerian to take up law suits against the Principal Officers of the House for manipulating the House rules and its voting pattern.
