Fight breaks out at House of Reps as new PDP meets lawmakers

A meeting between the seven governors of the
new Peoples Democratic Party faction, and
members of the House of Representatives has
ended after fighting broke out.
The governors, alongside the chairman of the
faction, Abubakar Baraje, met first with
senate president, David Mark. A follow up
meeting at the House of Representatives with
Speaker Aminu Tambuwal, and members of the
House, degenerated into chaos with supporters
of the Bamanga Tukur-led PDP jeering at
remarks made by Mr Baraje.
The chaos soon escalated after two members,
Dagogo Peterside and Henry Ofongo, from Rivers
and Bayelsa states respectively, went up
against each other.
Mr. Baraje told Mr. Mark that President
Goodluck Jonathan must give up his ambition
for a new term. (Source: Pemium Times)
