APC vs PDP in the House - MOre Drama over who has the POWER

The ruling People's Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday, in the House of Representatives gave a foretaste of their battle for supremacy when their representatives tested their might in the House.

The battle for supremacy was sparked off when the Minority Leader, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila (APC, Lagos) deliberately referred to the Deputy Majority Leader, Leo Ogor as deputy minority leader, sparking off a verbal war between members of the All Progressives Congress, APC and the ruling People's Democratic Party, PDP.

The uproar followed a motion brought to the floor by Sani Madaki (APC, Kano) under matters of urgent national importance entitled: "The Urgent Need to Save Our Nascent Democracy."

While moving the motion, in which Madaki deliberately referred to Leo Ogor as the deputy minority leader of the House, he asked the Federal Government to sack the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar and the Rivers State Police Commissioner, Mbu Joseph Mbu over their alleged poor handling of the Rivers State political crises.

Obviously, his statement arose from the impending and controversial change of House leadership due to APC's numerical strength occasioned by the defection of 37 PDP members to the APC, which has made the former opposition party to have more members than the PDP in the House.

Madaki's reference to Ogor as deputy minority leader did not go down well with PDP members as he had hardly finished his presentation when the drama started. http://allafrica.com/stories/201401220515.html
