The House of Representatives said on Monday the National Assembly never agreed to reconvene on Tuesday (today) to consider the budget for 2019 elections.

The Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr Abdulrazak Namdas, disclosed this to The PUNCH in an exclusive interview in Abuja.

He said, “There is no date taken or any agreement reached that members should reconvene on Tuesday. There is no reconvening on Tuesday.”

Namdas explained that whenever a date was taken, the procedure was to communicate to the bureaucracy of the legislature to reconvene it.
