War At Benue State House Of Assembly As Lawmakers Exchange Blows by zik4ever(op): 4:15pm On Jun 23, 2015
Lawmakers at the Benue State House of Assembly on Tuesday literally turned the hallowed chamber to a boxing ring after engaging each other in what could be tagged a legislative show of shame.

The brawl, DAILY POST learnt broke out following the election of Barr Adanyi of the (APC Makurdi south) as Majority leader.

Apparently not okay with Adanyi’s election, Hon. Martins Aza (PDP Makurdi North) objected, saying they were 16 in the house so should have the majority.

Argument ensued between two lawmakers in the process who reportedly descended on each other, thus exchanging deadly blows.

However, the timely intervention of other lawmakers present prevented the lawmakers from causing more harm.

Why not, didn't we watch on tv some years back federal lawmakers throwing punches in the hallowed chamber.

If truly the man was elected, then they should vote again openly. Let the most popular candidate win. At least PDP backed that with Saraki's emergence.

It is highly imperative that reports of this nature be accompanied with photographic evidence. Unless stills of the esteemed law makers engaged in mortal combat are provided little or no credence will be given to this story. grin

Benue is the only state that is yet to realise that election has come and gone.

I don't need pix to believe this story! In fact I'm surprised to hear that they did not use weapons or even killed each other.

make or mar the law? a million dollar question for our lawmakers.

How can a minority lawmaker be elected majority leader??
APC wants to grab everything. they're fast proving to be more greedy than PDP oo
And yet they're making noise abt Ekweremadu being elected Senate president

What happened to weapons? They could have as wel use weapons. The sooner they come to term with the fact that election has already been done,the better.
