NOT AGAIN: Reps exchange blows over leadership tussle, Mace disappears
A serious
fight has
broken
out
among
members
of the
House of
Representatives, with the federal lawmakers
exchanging blows.
At the plenary of the House on Thursday, the
tension and divided interest among the legislators
led to a brawl, which is still ongoing as of the time
of filing this report, between the two factions in
the chamber.
At the heart of the fighting is the leadership crisis,
which has engulfed the House since the
controversial inauguration of the National
Assembly on June 9.
The Mace, which is the symbol of authority of the
House, has disappeared, as the lawmakers
continue with their fighting.
It is learnt that the Mace has however been
ferried to the inner office of the Speaker, Yakubu
Dogara.
Confusion currently prevails in the Green
Chamber, with no one appearing to be in charge.
Some loyalists surround the Speaker, with each of
them trying to tell Dogara what do in the midst of
the confusion in the House.
Details later…
