Two members of the House of Representatives nearly exchanged blows on Wednesday as anger boiled over the rejection of a motion asking President Umaru Yar’Adua to transmit power to Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan.

Many lawmakers were particularly angry that the Speaker, Mr. Dimeji Bankole, did not give more members a chance to speak on the motion before he ruled in favour of those opposed to it.

The motion simply sought to ask Yar’Adua to comply with Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution.

Mr. Independence Ogunewe from Imo State was one of the lawmakers who supported the motion, but he was disallowed from speaking.

However, while he was pressing to be heard, another lawmaker, Mr. Ado Dogo, from Kano State , reminded him that the House might suspend him (Ogunewe) for arguing with Bankole.

An angry Ogunewe immediately rushed at Dogo in a bid to hit him, but Dogo ran from his seat.

Ogunewe chased after him until Dogo tripped and fell in the chamber, raising his hands and begging Ogunewe not to punch him.

“Please, please, I beg you in the name of God; I am sorry,” he pleaded.

But the obviously livid Ogunewe rained abuses on Dogo for daring to threaten him with suspension.

“How could he have talked about suspension? This was the same man who moved a motion for my suspension before. He is threatening me again, let him dare it,” he fumed.
