Panic as 50 Reps members test positive to covid-19

The leadership of Nigeria’s House of Representatives on Tuesday hurriedly adjourned plenary until next week following insinuations that over 50 members are positive of covid-19 pandemic.

The adjournment till next week is contrary to the House’s adopted covid-19 sitting guideline which stipulates twice a week.

The House therefore resolved to sit once a week as a result of the spread of the deadly virus among members who have kept their status hidden even from the leadership.

Representatives last week underwent tests to ascertain their covid-19 status. It was said by a source that the result of the test of not less than 50 lawmakers returned positive which triggered panic, leading to the adjustment of sitting guidelines.

At plenary Tuesday, Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila called for an executive session-said to be with respect to the outcome of the covid-19 and later announced the adjournment.
