IPOB Ban: House To Decides On Tuesday

A resolution as touching the legality or illegality of the proscription of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by the southeast governors will be Passed at the green chambers on Tuesday 26 September 2017.

The chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Abdulrazak Namdas, disclosed this in an interview with newsmen on Yesterday.

Namadas was asked if the House considered the proscription of IPOB as legal. He was also asked to comment on the tagging of IPOB by the military as a terrorist group.

The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, had on Monday described both actions as unconstitutional.

Namadas said, “When we resume, we will deliberate on all these issues and come up with a position as a House.”

Namadas did not comment on Saraki’s statement on IPOB’s proscription and its subsequent criticism by the House Chief Whip, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, who said the Senate President’s stand was political.
