A report from ThisDay newspaper says that the House of Reps went into a frenzy as the house was almost turned upside down during a fight between the Majority leader Mulikat Akande-Adeola (PDP Oyo) and Hon. Irona Alphonsus Gerald (PDP Imo).
This day says: "The bone of contention, it was gathered, may not have been unconnected with an allegation that President Jonathan offered money to aggrieved PDP lawmakers in order to persuade those who lost out at the primaries to remain in the party.
"The President was said to have met, selectively, with PDP Caucus in the House last Sunday following the gale of defections by PDP lawmakers to the opposition parties."
This apparently upset Irona, who went over to Akande-Adeola and began speaking angrily at her, saying: '' I don't like it. This is not the first time you have done that to me. Stop it or I will embarrass you."
It should be noted that Nigerian Bulletin is hazy on the details of this report, and that we cannot verify the veracity of this report or if the House of Reps debacle is linked to the bribery allegation.
