8 h. ago The Phantom Seat of Kpandai: How One Chair Terrorised 276 Honourables

Once upon a time in the Republic of Uncommon Sense, Parliament — that august House meant for sober deliberation — quietly transformed itself into a National Theatre production without auditioning a single actor. Citizens tuned in expecting lawmaking; instead, they were rewarded with choreography, percussion, costumes, and enough dramatic tension to power a telenovela. All this because one modest A4 letter declared the Kpandai seat vacant, and suddenly our Honourables remembered they had studied Theatre Arts in their previous lives.

In November 2012, during my tenure with an international organisation in Nigeria, I produced an analytical report examining Boko Haram’s overtures to dialogue.

I reproduce these reflections below, with minor modifications.

Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has criticised some Minority MPs for wearing face masks and disrupting proceedings in Parliament, describing their actions as “cowardly” and “shameful.” Speaking on the Joy Super Morning Show on Tuesday, Mahama Ayariga said such behaviour undermines the dignity of the House and the country’s commitment to the rule of law. “This is the country of the rule of law. We believe in the rule of law,” he said. “Why are you wearing face masks and disrupting parliamentary proceedings? This is very, very shameful that you wear face masks and come into the chamber as faceless people and be rude.”

Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has defended the Clerk to Parliament over the controversial letter declaring the Kpandai seat vacant, insisting the Clerk acted strictly within the law. Speaking on the Joy Super Morning Show on Tuesday, Mahama Ayariga said the Minority’s attempt to block debate in the chamber ultimately worked against their own interests. According to him, the law is clear that once a court orders a rerun of an election, the Clerk is mandated to notify the Electoral Commission (EC), unless a court order is in place to stay the judgment.
