Breaking News: Choice of Remaining
House Key Positions Turns Messy
Ayodele Afolabi, Abuja – The two factions of
the All Progressives Congress, APC — the
Speaker Dogara group and those loyal to the
party and Femi Gbajabiamia on Thursday
engaged one another in disgraceful physical
combats.
The session became very rowdy when the
group loyal to the party wanted the Speaker
to read the letter from the chairman of APC
nominating Gbajabiamila and others as
principal officers.
Instead of reading the letter, Dogara opted for
a closed door session but this did not go
down well with Gbajabiamila group and they
went for the mace.
The sergeant at arm who rushed in from the
senate wing rescued the mace from members
and took it out of the chamber.
What followed was pandemonium as
members threw decorum into the wind and
engaged in a brawl like Motor Park touts.
The situation is still tense as at press time
because the speaker has not been able to
restore normalcy as at the time of this report.
