Last Tuesday, the House of Representatives. had a rowdy session immediately after Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal read a letter proposing a courtesy visit by the Abubakar Kawu Baraje -led faction of the new Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
.
After saying the day's prayer at about 11.05am and delivering his welcome back speech to his colleagues who just returned from recess, Tambuwal proceeded to read a communication from President Goodluck Jonathan on the transmission of the 2014 2016 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper, and followed that with the letter, asking for the visit by Baraje.
.
The lawmakers were instantly split. The drama started with the shouts of 'no,' 'no' by members of the old PDP, as well as arguments to the effect that PDP is no longer the majority party in the House, implying that Tambuwal's leadership was no longer tenable.
.
Leading the pack of the nPDP, as the Baraje PDP is called, was Rep Abdulmunin Jibrin, House Committee Chairman on Finance representing Kano State. and Rep Dakuku Peterside of Rivers State.
We can just keep praying that everything is resolved soonest.
It's really of no use I must confess!
