Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has convened an emergency session of the House less than 24 hours before the transition to a new administration after eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

The lawmakers will convene by 1 pm.<\/p>\n

The agenda for the emergency session has not been disclosed yet.<\/p>\n

The session could be for the purpose of amending the CBN Act, which the Senate passed on Saturday.<\/p>\n

President Buhari is believed to be seeking means to resolve the N23.7 trillion ways and means loan from the Central Bank of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Earlier, both chambers gave the nod to securitising the loan by converting it to bond.<\/p>\n

The House, however, has become unpredictable in the past couple of weeks due to the ongoing fight between Gbajabiamila and his deputy, Idris Wase.<\/p>\n

The duo of Gbajabiamila and Wase had a public spat on Wednesday over the sitting of the House, as the former continues to prevent the convening of the House in his absence amid speculation of impeachment.<\/p>\n

Wase, one of the candidates for the speakership, is believed to be angry with Gbajabiamila for endorsing Tajudeen Abbas as Speaker for the incoming 10th House of Representatives.<\/p>\n
