The house of representatives on Wednesday went into a rowdy session as members began shouting "Dogara", "Dogara".
Trouble started when the Chairman of the House Committee on Rules and Business, Emmanuel Orker-jev, moved a motion on breach of his privilege and that of the House by the embattled former Chairman of the Appropriations Committee.
Members listened attentively until he got to the point where he mentioned Jibrin’s name; that was when members of the Transparency Group started shouting “No, no, no.”
This was countered by shouts of “Dogara, Dogara” by pro-Dogara reps, who started distributing green scarves with the inscription “I stand with Dogara.
At that point, Jibrin was observed to be walking around the chamber under the close watch of the sergeant-at-arms.
The motion was however passed and referred to the ethics and privileges committee, which would look into the matter.
More to come
