According to a report by Punch newspaper, some members of the
Federal House of Representatives, mainly from the South-East are
currently protesting in chambers.
It was learnt that their anger is over the withdrawal of a bill seeking to create a South-East Development Commission.
The house rejected the bill after it was put to a voice vote by Yakubu Dogara, the speaker.
Some of the lawmakers who contributed to the debate, said the
timing of the bill was not right and adequate consultations were not
made before it was brought to the house
The House has, however, re-listed the bill following the protests.
