Gbajabiamila accepts diaspora petition rejected by Deputy Speaker

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has accepted a petition filed by the Mutual Union of Tiv in America.

The Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase, had prevented the lawmaker representing Gwer-East/Gwer-West Federal Constituency in Benue State, Mr Mark Gbillah, from laying the petition before the House.

Gbillah brought the petition back at the plenary on Tuesday and it was admitted.

Gbajabiamila said, “I believe this is the same petition that has been causing a lot of misunderstanding. The misunderstanding came from the issue of signature.
