Insecurity: Fayose Labels House Of Rep Members Toothless Bulldogs |The Source

By Akinwale Kasali

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has laughed off the talks by members of the House of Representatives to summon President Muhammadu Buhari over the pathetic State of insecurity in the country.

Fayose, a strong critic of the President Buhari led All Progresssives Congress, (APC) Government, also labelled  the House of Representatives members as toothless bulldogs, saying they can only bark but can’t bite.

The two term former Governor stressed that House  members only exist on paper in the eyes of President Buhari.

Fayose made the claim while reacting to a resolution by the House of Representatives to invite the President to brief the House on the true state of security in Nigeria.

According to him, he would be surprised if Buhari honours their invitation.

The decision to summon President Buhari was taken at Tuesday’s plenary by members of the lower chamber.

The House considered a motion moved by members from Borno State on the recent killings of 43 rice farmers by Boko Haram insurgents.

The debate became rowdy after the Speaker, Gbajabiamila, said it would be inappropriate to invite President Buhari to disclose the actions being taken towards handling the security situation in the country.

Gbajabiamila described it as counter-productive.

Reacting to the development, Fayose, in a tweet via his Twitter handle on Tuesday, said: “I will be surprised if the President honours the House of Reps invitation.

“The National Assembly that is supposed to be representing the people should know by now that in the eyes of this President, they only exist on paper because they are mere toothless bulldogs.

“Some of those Rep members at the forefront of the invitation of the President to appear before the House should expect EFCC invitation, freezing of their accounts or arrest for plotting to bring down the legitimate government of the President. I warned.”
