Following the conferment of national honours on the leadership of the National Assembly by President Bola Tinubu, the House of Representatives has expressed dissatisfaction with what it described as discrimination against the Green Chamber
A motion sponsored by all 360 lawmakers drew attention to the conferment of the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) on Senate President Godswill Akpabio; and the Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.
The lawmakers rejected Tinubu’s conferment of the honour of Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR) on Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.
The lawmakers argued that both chambers of the National Assembly are equal and the Green Chamber should not even be referred to as a lower chamber.
They lamented that the GCON honour conferred on the CJN who is lower in rank than the Speaker. The House urged Tinubu to correct the error.
