SAN FRANCISCO, July 04, (THEWILL) – There was a rowdy session at the House of Representatives on Wednesday over the announcement of minority leadership positions.
The incident broke out after Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, allegedly ignored a list by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in which Kingsley Chinda was nominated as the Minority Leader of the House.
He rather chose to use another list submitted by lawmakers from all the other opposition parties in the house.
Ndudi Elumelu was then announced as the Minority Leader which led to protests as some aggrieved lawmakers attempted to take the maze.
They said they would not accept a situation where the majority in the house will impose a minority leader on members.
