Among the lawmakers who jettisoned the resolution were the Deputy Speaker, Rep. Ahmed Wase (APC-Plateau), and the Majority Leader, Rep. Ado Doguwa (APC-Kano).

Other defaulters are the Majority Whip, Rep. Mohammed Monguno (APC-Borno), and the Chairman, Rules and Business Committee, Rep. Abubakar Fulata (APC-Jigawa).

While the deputy speaker wore an ash ‘Agbada’, the majority whip and the chairman rules and business appeared in white “agbada.”

The majority leader of the house wore dark blue “agbada”, while many other members wore different colours including the spokesman of the House, Rep. Benjamin Kalu (APC-Abia).

The House was however adorned with posters which read: “Reps Say No to Rape”.

Pulse strongly condemns violence and sexual assault against women. We’re firmly behind all campaigns against rape and declare our support for the individuals, groups and organizations working hard, fighting tirelessly to make our community safe for girls and women; and unconducive for rapists and other sexual predators.
