Video: Law makers Engage in Free for all Fight over Leadership Tussle.


The members of House of Representatives were shamefully engaged in a free for all fight in the presence of some secondary school students who were on an excursion to the National Assembly, leading to the disruption of plenary.
 
Many APC lawmakers are still unhappy with Dogara and Bukola Saraki, senate president, for upstaging the party’s preferred candidates for their positions.

We gathered that, lawmakers loyal to Yakubu Dogara, the speaker, have taken custody of the mace to prevent moves by anti-Dogara members to seize it.

The house was to decide on the remaining principal officers but some lawmakers disrupted the sitting and attempted to hijack the mace.

Fracas ensued a few moments after Dogara commenced proceedings for the day.

The APC leadership is proposing Femi Gbajabiamila, defeated by Dogara in the June 9 election, as house leader, Alhassan Doguwa deputy house leader, Mohammed Monguno chief whip and Pally Iriase deputy chip whip.
