The House of Representatives has stepped down a motion to call on the Federal Government to halt the proposed ban on motorcycles.
A member from Jigawa State, Abubakar Yalleman, had moved the motion during the plenary at the green chamber of the National Assembly in Abuja.
He prayed the House to urge the Federal Government to restrict the ban to local governments where banditry and terrorism were rife.
The Deputy Speaker of the House, Idris Wase, however, prevailed upon Yalleman to step down.
He says he appreciated the motion but appealed to the lawmakers to cooperate with the executive arm of government in the fight against insecurity.
