This resolution was sequel to a motion moved by Ahmed Idris (ACN-Plateau), which was unanimously adopted without debate when put to vote by Speaker Aminu Tambuwal.
The motion is entitled: “Urgent need to investigate the justification for and circumstances surrounding the controversial grounding of Rivers State Government Bombardier B700 Global Express”.
My concern over this motion is the manner the Nigerian National Assembly responds to issues. What is the need for setting up a committee to probe a matter that happened between two government agencies for which those concerned can be questioned on oath during the sitting of the house. All those involved in this incident are resident in Nigeria.
It is also sad that legislators at all levels use language unbecoming of their status when contributing to debates and moving of motions in the house.
How do you label actions of an arm of government that have not being properly investigated as taken with impunity, and political vendetta.
Aircraft’s belonging to other airlines have had cause to be grounded without these theatrics from the house.
While awaiting the outcome of the work of the committee (ignoring all the biased comments of the legislatures) let us hope the report won’t be overtaken by other events. source http://www.sayit247.com/2013/05/appropriateness-of-speaker-tambuwals-committee-on-amaechis-grounded-bombardier-700-aircraft/
