In the last few minutes, the nigerian senate has decended in choas as senators openely argued and shouted over a motion to quell the on going crisis in rivers state.

The choas started when sen. Magnus abe of rivers state raised the issue of the of the rivers crisis on the senate floor and asked for reaction from the house. The leader of the house, victor egbe then read out some motions including condeming the voilence in the rivers assembly, which passed by a unanimous voice vote but when he raised a motion ORDERING "the inspector general of police to settle the issue between the state commissioner of police and the governor, the house erupted in choas as most PDP lawmakers opposed it and started shouting openly. This led to a moment of choas that lasted for some time. PDP lawmakers were seen waking up to the senate president and house leader insisting they Change the motion. After sometime the senate pres. Calmed the house and changed the motion to URGING the IG not ordering him. He did this and passed it by a voice vote of most PDP lawmakers. Sen. Abe immediately opposed the change but was shouted down disgracefully by the senate president. This did'nt go down well with opposition party lawmakers and magnus abe(PDP) of rivers state and the house decended into choas again. Opposition lawmakers openely rebelled against the senate pres. And demanded the issue be taking into a clossed session or risk trouble. The choas became so bad, the senate president ordered all camera's to leave,all non members in the gallery to leave and the house went into a closed session. Admist heavy quarelling.

It is a power play.
