The House of Representatives has threatened to sue the Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, over his claim that members of the National Assembly are the major beneficiaries of contracts awarded by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The minister made the allegation at his appearance before the House Committee on NDDC.
The House, however, at its plenary on Tuesday, challenged the minister to publish the names of the beneficiaries.
The Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Thursday, said the House will take legal action through civil proceedings against Akpabio for his allegations against members of the House which he failed to substantiate.
