The crisis in the Nation’s red chamber worsened on Tuesday,
with the Chief Whip, Senator Ali Ndume angrily staging a walkout.
To save the situation from escalating, the Senate President,
Godswill Akpabio, suddenly called for an emergency closed session.
Ndume had raised a point of order, citing order 54 of the
Senate Rule Book to draw the attention of the Senate President to his handling
of affairs in the chambers which were against the rules.
He said: “Mr. President there are some things we do in this
chamber that are against the rules. Sir, nobody is too big to learn.”
Akpabio had hardly allowed Ndume to end his speech, when he
ruled him out of order.
Visibly enraged, Ndume then stormed out of the chamber and
went straight to his office.
The Chief Whip shortly after, received a call from a
colleague to return to the chamber for an executive session.
The executive session was ongoing as of the time of filing
this report.
