Fighting Sparks at House of Reps as Baraje, 7 Govs Meet Lawmakers

A meeting between the seven governors of the Baraje-led 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.
