Reps threaten to sanction Wike, FCT council chairmen for shunning invitation

The House of Representatives on Tuesday threatened to sanction the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and six Area Council Chairmen in the city over insubordination.

A member of the House Committee on FCT Area Council and Ancillary, Ikonne Ifeanyi, made the call during the committee’s meeting in Abuja.

He said it was a show of disrespect and lack of regard for the House that the minister and his council chairmen refused to appear before the lawmakers after they were invited.
