It also called on the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to stay action on the said judgement.
The House also resolved to petition the National Judicial Council.

He said the Umuahia judgment is a slap on the National Assembly while warning that the Institution should not be ridiculed.
Others who spoke on the matter, including Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, wondered why the National Assembly was not served or joined in the suit.
