Opposition Leaders in Nigeria’s House of Representatives Concerned about Pause in Investigation Into Chinese Loans

PDP opposition legislators from the House of Representatives took to the media on Monday to voice their concerns that a three-week postponement will jeopardize the investigation into Chinese loans. 

The House of Representatives last week suspended all investigations, public hearings, and committee meetings until September for its annual recess.

That has legislators like Mark Gbillah concerned that the controversial inquiry into the validity of various Chinese loans will be compromised. “We are still in the realm of allegations and speculations, but when a three-week break has been allowed, compromises can be made; people can be appealed to, offers, overtures can be made to those carrying out those investigations,” he said in an interview on Channels TV. 

“This is Nigeria,” he added.
