The Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu speaking to the press after they walked out of the Chamber said, "We [Minority] had no option than to protest the manner in which he (Speaker) is endangering parliamentary democracy and its practice."

"Let me place on record to protest against the conduct of the Speaker in referring a motion to a committee of parliament – a motion which has not been debated and a motion for which no decision has been taken.

"This is a house governed by procedure and a house governed by rules and standing orders. Nowhere – and I challenge you to peruse the standing orders and give us basis and justification for the referral.
