No Cracks In House, Reps Confirm

The House of Representatives has denied that a rift exists among its members.
A statement signed by its spokesman Rep. Benjamin Kalu, yesterday, said that the 9th House under the leadership of Speaker, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila has no division either between the principal officers or the membership.
Kalu was reacting to reports on some media platforms alleging that there was a crack in the House.
The statement reads: “The attention of the leadership and membership of the 9th House of Representatives has been drawn to the recent publications made and distributed by a few media platforms alleging ‘there is a crack’ on the wall of the unity of the House .
“The publishers supported their position with a mere screen shot photos of internal personal arguments between members of the joint task team on their Whatsapp platform administered by the aide from the office of the leadership.
“There was no form of verification sort from the office of the spokesman of the House for confirmation or otherwise before such publication. By our House Rules, at all times, the official spokesperson of the House remains the credible source for any information affecting the 9th Assembly.
“The 9th Assembly under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, absolutely, has no division either between the principal officers or the membership and the leadership. The public is therefore, asked to totally ignore such ill intended publication aimed at misdirecting them.
