Chairman of the Northern Caucus in the House of Representatives, Sarki Musa Ardar, a lawmaker from Katsina State, raised a point of order on Tuesday on the floor of the House over the report.

Ardar said the report on Sahara Reporters that the lawmakers led by him concluded plans to smuggle in the bill during the holiday and to impeach Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila is not true.
