Voting has commenced amid uproar
in the green chamber. "You cannot snap when you are casting your
vote," a member-elect is overheard shouting.
For over five minutes, the house
of representatives’ chamber has been chaotic. Some members kick against the
attempt to snap them while they cast their votes. A visibly angered Clerk of
the National Assembly has called the lawmakers to order.
Omolori says: "Honourable
members, please let us be quiet. You are not going to hear me clearly if you
don't keep quiet."
"We will not tolerate any
member infringing on the privacy of any other member. Let us conduct
ourselves...," the clerk continues.
Most of the members-elect refuse
to heed the directive of the clerk to sit down. They argue over taking pictures
while casting votes "We can't continue in this manner," the clerk
says.
The speakership race is between
Femi Gbajabiamila who is the preferred candidate of his party, the All
Progressives Congress, and another APC member, Mohammed Bago.
