In 1962 when Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa tried to impose a state of emergency in Nigeria’s western region, a move that didn't sit well with Awolowo. As lawmakers deliberated Balewa’s position in the Western regional assembly on May 25, 1962,Mr Emmanuel Ebubedike (from Ozubulu in Anambra State) who represented Ajeromi/Ifelodun/Badagry East in Parliament had been displeased with the unaccomplished ambition of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe to become the first Premier of the Western Region seized the mace and deployed same as a head battering weapon; with a fist fight breaking all around him. As the chairs were flung all over the floor of the House, Ebubedike grabbed the mace and dared anyone to come close. When the Speaker, Hon. Prince Adeleke Adedoyin and other lawmakers came close, Ebubedike used the mace on them. The mace as a weapon of head destruction was thus born in Nigeria. YYF |
