A meeting between the seven governors of the
new Peoples Democratic Party faction, and
members of the House of Representatives has
ended after fighting broke out.
The governors, alongside the chairman of the
faction, Abubakar Baraje, met first with senate
president, David Mark. A follow up meeting at
the House of Representatives with Speaker
Aminu Tambuwal, and members of the House,
degenerated into chaos with supporters of the
Bamanga Tukur-led PDP jeering at remarks
made by Mr Baraje.
The chaos soon escalated after two members,
Dagogo Peterside and Henry Ofongo, from
Rivers and Bayelsa states respectively, went up
against each other.
Mr. Baraje told Mr. Mark that President
Goodluck Jonathan must give up his ambition
for a new term. (Source: Pemium Times )
