House of Representatives may not have wholly discarded the threat to slam a lawsuit against the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio for alleged perjury and defamation.
But hardly had the House reached the resolution at plenary on Thursday than Akpabio swiftly turned in a letter, making a volte-face on his words. Speaking exclusively with Vanguard on the issue, Sunday, some members of the House said the decision was not one man’s decision. “But in my humble opinion, to me, the man said he didn’t say what he was being accused of. If a man has said he didn’t say what he was being accused of, do you need any soothsayer to tell you journey again? I don’t know, can’t say if there is any need or not to still go to court. I don’t speak for the House.
Asked if the letter was kept in abeyance pending when the House resumes, the lawmaker said “I am the opinion of the House. No one single individual a say the matter has closed or finished because the day that the letter came was also the same day the House adjourned. So, such issues, you never can tell, may crop up in the future or may not crop up again. So, it depends.”
