Drama Unfolds in House of Reps as Female Lawmakers Exchange Shouts

A heated exchange took place in the House of Representatives on Wednesday as two female lawmakers engaged in a shouting match over political developments in Rivers State.

The confrontation, which occurred before the commencement of plenary, involved Hon. Marie Ebikake, a lawmaker representing Bayelsa under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and Blessing Amadi, a PDP representative from Rivers State.

The disagreement centered around the constitutionality of a recent decision by the President, with both lawmakers passionately expressing their differing views. The argument quickly escalated, drawing the attention of other members within the chamber. As tensions rose, several lawmakers intervened to prevent the situation from spiraling further out of control.

Some members of the House were seen banging on tables while others were heard making remarks such as “nothing will happen,” signaling a mix of defiance and determination regarding the issue. A few lawmakers appeared ready for a more heated confrontation, while others engaged in discussions about the unfolding situation.

The dramatic moment underscored the deep divisions within the legislative chamber regarding political matters in Rivers State. Even before the formal session began, members were seen huddling in groups, discussing the implications of the controversy.

Though physical confrontation was avoided, the incident highlighted the growing tensions among lawmakers, particularly on matters concerning governance and constitutional authority. As the plenary commenced, order was restored, but the intense exchange reflected the broader political disagreements currently shaping discussions within the House.
