Political crisis rocking Rivers State Wednesday spilled into Senate with Senators raining abuses on one another which nearly resulted in physical combat in the red chamber.
Trouble started during debate on a motion sponsored by Senator Wilson A. Ake (APC, Rivers) and 30 others from the APC on the January 12, attack on Senator Magnus Abe during a political rally in Port Harcourt by men of the Rivers state police command.
While Senators of the APC shouted in support of Senator Ake with Senator Ahmad Lawan (APC, Yobe) insisting that they have facts about the role of the Rivers State police in the crisis, on the other hand PDP Senators shouted "no".
Shortly after Senator Ake submitted his motion, Senator James Manager (PDP Delta) called Senator Lawan a 'fool' saying "you are a fool, you should shut up".
This did not go down well with his APC colleagues, and infuriated Senators Ahmad Lawan and Alkali Jajere (APC, Yobe).
Lawan then responded to Manager saying, 'you are very stupid, you are very stupid, you must apologise', and threatened to physically fight Manager if he fail to apologise.
Details later.....
