House Of Assembly Apologizes To Nigerians Over Fight During Plenary

The House of Representatives has apologized to Nigerians over the actions of some lawmakers who disrupted the proceedings in the House and attempted to seize the mace during plenary on Thursday.

The Chairman of the House ad-hoc Committee on Media, Honorable Sani Zorro, while addressing journalists condemned the lawmakers' actions, saying “the House sincerely apologizes to Nigerians for the events of the day”. 

The House had adjourned for the day until July 21, after what turned out to be a very turbulent day. The large number of lawmakers in the All Progressives Congress (APC), who spoke to reporters, blamed the Speaker for the disagreement that resulted into a fist-cuff with the claim that he refused to read a letter sent to him by the leadership of the APC, stating the party’s position on its choice of principal officers.
