As the National Assembly prepares to reconvene on September 23, 2025, the House of Representatives has firmly dismissed circulating reports suggesting that certain lawmakers are planning to confront Speaker Tajudeen Abbas. These rumors, which had begun to gain traction in political circles and among the public, have been labeled baseless and misleading by official House sources.
In a press briefing, representatives stressed the importance of focusing on legislative duties and national development initiatives rather than fueling discord within the chamber. They emphasized that the House leadership remains united and committed to a collaborative working environment.
The dismissal of the alleged plot comes as a relief to many who fear that such intra-legislative conflicts could undermine the effectiveness of Nigeria’s democratic institutions. As lawmakers prepare to return from recess, the atmosphere is expected to be one of cooperation and progress, with the House prioritizing the country’s pressing legislative agenda.
