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.
It would be noted that the leadership of the faction and its seven governors on the night of September 16, 2013, held a strategy meeting where they reviewed the outcome of Sunday’s meeting between the ‘rebel’ governors and the President.
