The House of Representatives was on Thursday, June 25, 2015 thrown in chaos when Legistlators engaged in a free-for-all over leadership positions.
The problem began when Speaker, Yakubu Dogara was about to resume business for the day and named nominees for principal positions in the House.
Legislators loyal to Dogara were said to have clashed with those loyal to the All Progressives Congress (APC), which had written to the Speaker telling him who to choose.
Other lawmakers were said to have made attempts to hijack the mace, without which the House can’t validly sit.
Pro-APC lawmakers were said to be chanting ‘APC, party supremacy’ while the Speaker’s loyalists chanted ‘Dogara’.
Dogara is said to have adjourned the sitting of the House till July 21.
