The House of Representatives descended into full blown crisis Thursday as rancorous members disrupted its session and engaged themselves over the election of House principal officers. The House broke into two factions, one supporting the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, which seeks to choose the House principal officers, and another, backing the the speaker, Yakubu Dogara, who insists on defying the party. The House and the Senate have been rocked by crisis over the election of their principal officers. Thursday’s crisis started as the speaker arrived at the House to commence plenary. Shortly after settling in, APC members began to raise points of order as some lawmakers rushed for the mace, the symbol of authority of the House. More details later.

All these are happening bcos one man wants to rule Nigeria from lagos. Why can't they allow members to elect their leaders instead of selection from lagos. APC is not prepared for governance.

I believe that we're still in the traditional stage of development. This is very painful! However, I don't think the big countries where our leaders lavish our money became developed with leaders like ours. I saw selfishness and greed in the video. May God help us!
