PDP Reps Trade Blows Over House Minority Leadership Positions

Plenary at the House of Representatives turned rowdy on Wednesday.

The Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamilia, had he said received a letter from opposition members, which he was about to read to the lawmakers.

A member of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr Kingsley Chinda, however, raise a point of order but the Speaker ruled him out of order.

The development turned the session into rowdiness, with several PDP lawmakers protesting against the planned announcement.

The sergeants-at-arms moved to protect the mace while Gbajabiamila, in the heat of the controversy, adjourned the plenary.

Factions of the PDP caucus in the House have presented parallel principal officers.

A faction claims that the letter Gbajabiamila was about to read did not come from the PDP.

The Speaker was guarded out of the chamber amid cheers and jeers.
