Members of the House of Representatives who served in the aborted third republic have appealed to President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly to pay their entitlements which have been left hanging for the past 31 years.
Speaking on the platform of the Third Republic Parliamentarian Forum, the former lawmakers said if Chief MKO Abiola and Amb. Babagana Kinginbe could be recognised, former members who were duly inaugurated should also be given due recognition and get their entitlement paid.
They spoke when they honoured one of them and a member representing Sagbama federal constituency of Bayelsa state, Hon Fred Agbedi who was a member of the third Assembly while the welfare officer of the group, Hajia Amina Aliyu explained that they decided to honour Hon. Agbedi because he has continued to identify with them and taken care of the welfare of many of them.
Hon. Agbedi appealed to President Bola Tinubu to listen to the cry of the former Lawmakers and order the payment of their entitlements.
The leader of the group, Hon Basil Okafor who spoke earlier described the election that brought them to the parliament as the best election ever conducted in the country.
