A tense moment played out in the House of Representatives on Wednesday when two female lawmakers got into a heated argument over the political developments in Rivers State.
Marie Ebikake (PDP, Bayelsa) and Blessing Amadi (PDP, Rivers) engaged in a shouting match over the legality of the President’s decision regarding the state just before plenary commenced.
Other lawmakers quickly stepped in to prevent the situation from escalating further.
As tensions flared, some members were seen banging on tables and making bold statements, while others appeared ready for a confrontation. Meanwhile, various lawmakers gathered in small groups, discussing the unfolding situation before the plenary session began.
Details later.
