Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has insisted that the resolution to investigate the state of Nigerian prisons under the Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola has nothing to do with the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Gatekeepers News reports that Aregbesola said this while reacting to a matter of privilege raised by a representative Onofiok Luke who was furious with reports suggesting that the House’s resolution to investigate the state of the Nigerian Correctional Service was a political move by the Speaker against Aregbesola.
Aregbesola had over the weekend in a meeting with the stakeholders of his factional APC in Osun, lambasted Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for not calling his ‘brother’, Osun State Governor, South-West Nigeria, Gboyega Oyetola to order.
The House had on Wednesday mandated its Committee on Reformation Services to investigate the state of the Nigerian Correctional Service.
The development followed a motion of urgent national importance by the minority leader, Ndudi Elumelu.
There has been controversy that suggested the motion to investigate the funds allocated to Nigerian prisons was motivated by the rift between Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Gboyega Oyetola and Rauf Aregbesola.
