Proceedings in the House of Representatives turned rowdy on Wednesday as legislators disagreed over a motion seeking to summon President Bola Tinubu.
During plenary, Benedict Etanabene, the lawmaker representing Okpe/Sapele/Uvwie federal constituency in Delta State, raised a point of privilege to draw the attention of the House to a June 29 circular issued by Shamseldeen Ogunjimi, the Accountant-General of the Federation.

In the memo, Ogunjimi directed all federal ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) to immediately stop processing payments for constituency and zonal intervention projects (ZIPs) unless they have been formally vetted by the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs.
Etanabene urged the House to summon the President to address lawmakers on the delay in implementing the 2025 budget, adding that the circular would further hamper the execution of the Appropriation Act.
