JUST IN: Reps commences move to sue Akpabio for perjury

Following a 48-hours notice to Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio to produce names of lawmakers who got contracts from the NDDC, the House of Representatives has initiated moves to sue him for perjury.

Recall that the minister had alleged that members of the assembly got contracts from the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila on Thursday said that he has instructed the Clerk to engage lawyers to file the suit after the Minister failed to respond to the House request to publish the list.

Gbajabiamila vowed he will not preside over the House and allow anybody to tarnish its image for whatever reason.
