An argument between two All Progressives Congress Senators,
Kabiru Marafa and Tayo Alasoadura, degenerated into a physical combat on
Tuesday as a last minute attempt by the party’s caucus in the Senate to select
the principal officers ended in a stalemate.
The meeting was also aimed at arriving at a common position on the selection of principal officers.
Trouble was said to have started
immediately after Saraki had delivered his speech and urged his
colleagues to dissolve into zonal caucuses to produce their
representatives for the posts of Senate Leader, the Deputy Senate
Leader, the Chief Whip and the Deputy Whip.
It was at that stage that Senator Suleiman Hunkunyi, got angry on
hearing Saraki’s call on members to dissolve into zonal caucuses.
This issue will be sorted out in the next 24 hours. The party needs to
wield the big stick against anybody who has gone against its directive.
