PDP Crisis: Fight Breaks Out In National Assembly Over Baraje Visit

There was uproar at the House of Representatives with the arrival of the leader of the breakaway faction of the PDP, Abubakar Baraje who had requested earlier to come to the lower chambers on a courtesy visit.

According to reports, the members on hearing about Baraje's visit were bitter and walked about for some minutes consulting and venting their frustrations on the various principal officers.

When calm was eventually restored, the Speaker explained that the two factions had sent in similar request but the Tukur faction withdrew theirs early this morning.

He also told the members that the requested meeting was with the PDP caucus of the House and will not hold in the chambers.
