It is no longer news that shameless members of
the House of Representatives put up a show of
shame yesterday, engaging in physical combat
when seven governors loyal to the New Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) visited the National
Assembly in Abuja.
While the visit to the Senate ended without any
ugly incident, the reverse was the case at the
House of Reps. Trouble started when Hon. Henry
Ofongo, from President Goodluck Jonathan’s
home state, Bayelsa, rose to vehemently oppose
the visit.
The visit had started on a bright note, with
Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal,
and other principal officers receiving the
delegation led by the National Chairman of the
New PDP, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje, in Room 0.28.
In the delegation were governors Aliyu Wamakko
(Sokoto); Babangida Aliyu (Niger); Rabiu
Kwankwaso (Kano); Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); Sule
Lamido (Jigawa); Murtala Nyako (Adamawa); and
Abdulfatai Ahmed (Kwara).
However, in the Huse chambers, as Baraje was
introduced and asked to state the purpose of
their visit, Ofongo, followed by Betty Apiafi
(Rivers); Bethel Amadi (Imo); Kingsley Chinda
(Rivers); and Bitrus Kaze (Plateau) tried to disrupt
proceedings. Shouting “point of order!”, “point of
order!”, Ofongo charged in the direction of the
high table. He insisted that the meeting must not
hold because he did not believe that many of the
people at the venue were PDP members.
Ofogo was punched and shoved by pro-Baraje
Reps and had his jacket pulled off.
Most of the members who charged at Ofongo are
from Kano State. They include Aminu Suleiman,
Baballe Murktar, Ali Madakaki and Ado Dogoa.
Dakuku Peterside and Andrew Uchendu, both
from Rivers State, also shoved Ofongo, preventing
him from moving close to the high table in his
desperation to disrupt the visit.
Pro-Jontahan and Bamanga Tukur lawmakers
rushed in defence of Ofongo, resulting in a free-
for-all during which Ini Udoka from Akwa Ibom
State lifted a chair but was prevented from
throwing it. Another Akwa Ibom rep, Emmanuel
Okon, also joined the fighting on the side of
Ofongo.
The meeting ended hurriedly as tension
escalated.

Vagabonds in power.Clothed chimps.

All GEJ have in his camp are thugs.

more DRAMA is still on the way, this is just the prelude

xyuche: more DRAMA is still on the way, this is just the prelude

I keep my fingers crossed

When are we going to see the END of this political drama? At TIMES like these when the students are at home and millions jobless we certainly dont need THINGS like these in our great country Nigeria.

Seriously, you are the thug here if you don't see anything odd in a 'Rebel PDP Greedy Group' populated by Funky Mallams!

egift: All GEJ have in his camp are thugs.

So you did not see where it was CLEARLY stated in the report that pro - Baraje (i.e. the rebel camp) PDP Reps STARTED the violent confrontation by assaulting Honorable Ofongo? What has GEJ got to do with that?

Some of you would blame GEJ for your inability to impregnate your wives. What nonsense.

Ofongo charged in the direction of the high table. He insisted that the meeting must not hold because he did not believe that many of the people at the venue were PDP members.

They are fighting for their people.they are voted to argie,deffend, fight and die for the people.

...and in your 'on point logic' what the Baraje-led group are doing to the polity is what makes you go gaga? Just asking Mr

Who was the fat woman that kept hitting people and tore that Northner's cloth??

GEJ's Women fighters leader. The fact is that Ofongo shouldn't have attempted going the direction of state governors, its wrong. I hope others have the right to stop the mad ofongo from trying to physically attacked their State chief executives( this could be assumed, because ofongo was already "charged"

See you as one eg of Nigeria problem.

All these rubish is just for selfish interest,this 7 Governors that are claiming to protect PDP,what have they done for their state,they don't want another person to go for 2nd tenure,while they are all in 2nd tenure,what a shame to the Dishonourable members that CANNOT respect their Age,is because Mr.Tabuwal (speaker)have failed in his position to put his house in order.Look at how our Senators are conducting them selves as a matured citizens of the country,this is to show how David Mark put his house in Order,I think the Rep.should emulate from the senate.

Shame on you. Did you not FIRST read where the man CHARGED to the Table trying stop a peaceful visit that followed all the due process required by law? (They wrote the Reps, were invited and accepted). But the man Ofongo was trying to justify the payment he got from Jonathan and his group.
