ABUJA- The House of Representatives on Tuesday slid into panic mode
following rumours that over 50 legislators may have tested positive to
dreaded coronavirus, and are still attending plenary sessions and
committee meetings.
As a result, the House has adjourned plenary till next week, as opposed to its adopted covid-19 sitting guideline of twice a week.
The
House had in its resolution 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.
Also recall that the Spokesman
of the House, Rep. Benjamin Kalu had refuted claims that some members in
the House had tested positive to the virus.
Lawmakers were said to have undergone covid-19 tests, with the results still matters of speculations, a
source among the Lawmakers who pleaded anonymity however told newsmen
that about 50 of his colleagues have tested positive with some of them
seriously down with the effects of the virus.
He said:
“You people should do anything possible to protect yourselves o,
Coronavirus is right here even in the Chamber, about 50 or more than 50
of our colleagues are having it o, I mean they are down with it
already”.
Before announcing adjournment at plenary, Speaker
Femi Gbajabiamila had called for an executive session which may be not
be unconnected with the need to adjourn plenary for fear of further
spread of the virus
Investigations further revealed that a huge
number of the lawmakers in both Chambers have tested positive to
COVID-19 but refused making it known to the
public.
In the
area of protective equipment and peraonal hygene, our correspondent
observed that there are no soaps and water at the entrance of the
Assembly Complex even in the rest rooms where people working at the
complex can wash their hands.
Also, the Automatic Sanitizer
dispensers at various entry points of the Assembly complex have been so
empty as they worked for just three week at the early Stage of the
virus. This is despite repeated resolutions by both chambers directing
the management to make provisions for them.
This newspaper also
gathered that the House has condluded arrangements to proceed on its
annual vacation, which is likely to be next week.
What is however not clear is whether the recess will stretch to its usual two months due to the covid-19 pandemic.
