During the session, the Petitioner, the Guardian of Democracy and Rule of Law, represented by Barr. Emmanuel Onwudiwe, was present alongside the suspended members of both state assemblies. However, the governors of Benue and Zamfara, as well as their respective speakers, were notably absent.

Chairman of the Committee, informed those in attendance that the committee had received court documents pertaining to the case (Suit No. FHC/MKD/CS/146/2025), which was filed on May 5, 2025, at the Federal High Court in Makurdi also due for hearing on May 19, 2025.

The Chairman detailed that the Benue State House of Assembly and its Speaker, Hon. Aondona Hyacinth Dajoh, are the plaintiffs in this suit, while the defendants include the Speaker, House of Representatives, the Committee on Public Petitions, and the Guardian of Democracy and Rule of Law.

Additionally, Hon. Kwamoti noted that the leadership of the Benue State House of Assembly had reached out to the Senate and the House of Representatives Benue Caucuses, requesting a discussion on the matter.


Given the ongoing court proceedings and the leadership’s request for dialogue with the Senate and House representatives, the decision on whether to proceed with the petition will be made during the next scheduled hearing on May 28, 2025.

NEED TO MITIGATE THE SPREAD OF DIPHTHERIA: A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN IN NIGERIA TO SAVE LIVES By Rt. Hon. Kwamoti Bitrus Laori

 



The House

Notes that Diphtheria, a bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium species, has become a critical public health issue since the first outbreak in Borno State in 2011 claimed 21 lives. The outbreak's current resurgence poses significant threats to Nigeria's already overburdened public health system;

Also notes that diphtheria which affects the nose, throat, skin, and, in severe cases, the heart; is transmitted through respiratory droplets, contaminated objects, and crowded unsanitary environments, making its spread particularly rapid among children and those with compromised immune systems in crowded communities;

Aware that diphtheria thrives in Africa due to low vaccination rates while remaining virtually absent in countries like the United States of America and Europe, where vaccination coverage is high. Thus, diphtheria primarily threatens unvaccinated individuals who travel internationally or come into contact with infected persons;

Also, aware that in Africa, nations such as Niger, Gabon, and Mauritania have reported outbreaks with only a handful of confirmed deaths due to effective vaccination coverage, early detection, laboratory confirmation, and the availability of antitoxins and antibiotics for treatment. In stark contrast, Nigeria's statistics paint a dire picture, with thousands of reported cases and associated deaths due to low or absence of vaccination;

Alarmed that from May 2022 to February 2025, Nigeria has reported 41,978 suspected cases of diphtheria from Bauchi, Borno, Jigawa, Kaduna, Katsina, with Kano and Yobe States accounting for the highest numbers- 24,062 and 5330, respectively. Most cases were children aged 1-14, and only 19.7% were fully vaccinated, resulting in 1,279 deaths within this period;

Concerned that if nothing is done, the high case fatality rate could worsen and spread outside of the states already impacted, underscoring the urgency of improving on the low vaccination rates, ineffective antitoxins and treatments, and delays in clinical detection and test confirmation that fuel this outbreak;

Resolves to:

i. Direct the Federal Ministry of Health, the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), and the National Health Care Development Agency to enforce the mandatory diphtheria immunization, testing and treatment across healthcare centers in all 774 Local Government Areas;

ii. Task the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation to raise public awareness through sensitization campaigns regarding the dangers, symptoms, and transmission modes of diphtheria to prevent further spread and fatalities;

iii. Mandate the House Committee on Health and Health Institutions to assess the level of compliance with the mandatory Diphtheria immunization, the capacity of health institutions to effectively respond to current threat of Diphtheria spread across the country and report back within four weeks for further legislative action;

iv. Mandate the Committee on Legislative Compliance to ensure compliance.

*Rep. Kwamoti Attends the Launch of Three Legislative Digital Platforms in Abuja*

 


In a significant effort to enhance transparency and promote public accountability in Nigeria's legislative processes, the Policy Legal and Advocacy Centre (PLAC) has unveiled three innovative digital platforms designed to improve citizen engagement with the legislature.


PLAC, a civil society organization working in partnership with Nigeria's National Assembly, launched these platforms to facilitate better access for citizens to legislative processes and decision-making.


At the event, Rep. Kwamoti, who served as a special guest, commended PLAC for this initiative, describing it as a timely and innovative response to the public's demand for greater legislative accountability, transparency, and engagement. 



The three digital platforms launched include:


1. PLAC Bills Tracker– This tool allows citizens to monitor the progress of bills through the legislative process.

2. PLAC Legislative Agenda Tracker – This platform provides insights into the legislative priorities of the National Assembly, enabling citizens to stay informed about key issues.

3. PLAC Legislative Repository– A comprehensive database that houses legislative documents, ensuring easy access to vital information.



A highlight of the event was a live demonstration of the digital platforms, encouraging stakeholders to utilize these tools, actively engage with legislative processes, and contribute to the strengthening of democracy in Nigeria.


According to Rep Kwamoti, "this initiative marks a significant step forward in fostering an informed and engaged citizenry, ultimately enhancing the democratic process in the country."

*Barr. Kwamoti Condemns Murder of Thomas Godwin Zamfara: Calls for Thorough Investigation*

 


It is with a heavy heart and profound shock that I condemn the heinous murder of our beloved Thomas Godwin, affectionately known as Zamfara.


This brutal act is not only tragic but also deeply unsettling in Adamawa State. The perpetrators of this crime must not go unpunished. I urge the Nigerian Police and all relevant security, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies to prioritize the arrest and prosecution of those responsible as a critical measure to deter future violence.


As we join Thomas's family in mourning, it is essential that we remain vigilant and proactive in reporting any information that could help expose the evil that has afflicted us. Adamawa State is renowned for its peace and harmony, and we must not allow criminals to thrive within our society. It is imperative that we collectively denounce this atrocity through both our words and our actions.


There is no justification for the way Zamfara was murdered; it is barbaric and entirely contrary to our values as human beings. I call on the authorities to deepen their investigation, and I encourage anyone with information that could assist in solving this crime not to hesitate in reporting it to the Nigerian Police or the appropriate intelligence and law enforcement agencies in the state.


The best way to honor our brother’s memory is to ensure that his murderers do not escape justice but are held accountable for their actions. We must reject the normalization of violence and impunity in our community.


I implore everyone to avoid indifference and to embody the spirit of being our brother’s keeper, as taught by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection we celebrate in this season of hope.


As Christians celebrate the resurrection of Christ, let us also remember Thomas, his family, and all those who have fallen victim to senseless violence, ensuring that justice prevails.


My deepest condolences go out to the family of Thomas Godwin Zamfara, the people of Hong Local Government Area, and the entire government and community of Adamawa State, who are shocked and saddened by this incident.


May we find strength in unity as we mourn this loss, and may his soul rest in eternal peace.


Amen!

The workaholic law maker reassured his constituents of his readiness to deliver at all times.

The purpose of their visit was to present proposals to the House Committee on Constitutional Review for the establishment of Borrong and BIDOMA Local Government Areas out of Demsa LGA of Adamawa State.

*Rt. Hon. Kwamoti B. Laori lays Ad Hoc Committee Report in grand style**


In a striking departure from his usual calm mien, Rt. Hon. Kwamoti B. Laori, Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee investigating the alleged wrongful termination of Comrade Emmanuel Odafe Igbini (Engr) by Total Energies EP Nigeria Ltd., captivated the House of Representatives with a memorable presentation that turned heads and sparked conversation.


Dressed in a full Bwatiye traditional regalia, with a Royal staff known as SoShopwe, Laori's visible attire was a celebration of his cultural heritage, contrasting sharply with the simple African fabrics he typically adorns as a ranking member of the House of Representatives. 


His signature kashe cap, a staple of his wardrobe, was also notably seen, making way for a look that was both regal that resonanated with his roots.


As he laid the committee's report before his colleagues, the atmosphere in the chamber shifted dramatically. Attention quickly pivoted from the formal business of the day to that of admiration and analyzing the elaborate regalia worn by the triple- titled-Chief. 


The spectacle was so compelling that the Minority Leader of the House felt compelled to invoke an order addressing the decorum of members' attire, raising a humorous yet serious point about the prohibition of any form of weapons in the chamber because he perceived the So-Shopwe to be a weapon that need to be explained.


This prompted a necessary intervention from the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas GCON to restore order and refocus the proceedings.


Beyond his impressive titles – including *Sunga-Takalo Bata* from the Bata Traditional Council in Demsa, *Kormo-Bachama* from the Bachama Traditional Council, *Murum-Bondo-Mbula* from the Mbula Traditional Council, and *Enyi-Oma Ndi-igbo* from the Ibo Traditional Council – Hon. Laori remains refreshingly humble. 


Despite the received accolades and accomplishments as a Barrister and Dr, Hon. Laori is unperturbed by the weight of his titles, embodying the spirit of his people with grace authenticity and cultural representation.. 


This unexpected yet rich moment not only highlighted Laori's commitment to his constituents but also enriched the legislative environment, reminding everyone of the importance of tradition, identity, and the vibrant tapestry of Nigerian culture in the art of governance.


He has demonstrated the need for one to take cognisance of his cultural heritage, ancestral reference and cultural background.


On a lighter note, the Speaker mandated Hon. Kingsley Chinda, the House Minority Leader to appear in his traditional regalia like Chief Laori come next Tuesday.
