The House of Representatives on Thursday descended into chaos over the elections of Principal Officers in the House.

At the resumption of sitting at about 11.00am, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Yakubu Dogara, attempted to read the letter reportedly sent to him by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Oyegun, and a Member stood up to oppose it.

The situation quickly generated into chaos as someone threw a book at the Speaker, and others succeeded in removing the mace from the House.

Several people attempted to attack the Speaker and what appeared to be many members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, along with Dogara loyalists quickly formed a circle around him.

Chants of APC, and counter chants of Dogara could be heard in the air.

The speed and abrupt nature with which the chaos quickly started makes it unclear as to the real cause of the disagreements.

It can be recalled that the North-Central and Southeast caucuses of the APC in the House rejected the party’s reported zoning of the principal positions of the lower chamber to the north-east and south-west.

The letter, which Dogara had tried to read was sent to him by Oyegun, endorsing Femi Gbajabiamila as House Leader (South-West), Alhassan Doguwa Deputy House Leader (North-West), Mohammed Monguno Chief Whip‎ (North-East) and Pally Iriase Deputy Chief Whip (South-South).
