The Speaker, House of Representatives, FEMI GBAJABIAMILA, has vowed to take up the issue of the refusal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, GEOFFREY ONYEAMA, to honour the invitation of the lawmakers to brief them on the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

The apparently angry GBAJABIAMILA, who described the killing of Nigerians as a “nagging problem,” which required urgent and collective efforts of the lawmakers and the executive, expressed displeasure over ONYEAMA’s decision to ignore the House of Representatives’ invitation on the matter.

Referring ministers in President MUHAMMADU BUHARI’s cabinet to the provisions of Section 88 and Section 89, GBAJABIAMILA warned that in the task of nation building in a democratic setting, no minister has the powers to ignore legislative invitation.
