It was a rowdy session yesterday at Nigeria's lower legislative chamber as two members of the House of Representatives, Mr Diri Duoye and Ms Boma Goodhead from Bayelsa and Rivers states respectively, rose in anger to beat up Mr Razak Atunwa over the invitation extended to former President Goodluck Jonathan to explain his alleged role in OPL 245 Malabu Oil deal.
Atunwa was warned to be ready for a showdown by a visibly angry Diri Duoye for leading the call.
He said: “Why on earth should he (Atunwa) summon a former president to testify? Can such an invitation be extended to former President Obasanjo?”
During the rowdy session, another lawmaker from the South West reportedly countered: “There’s a window to it, let’s see how it plays out.”
In an angry outburst, Duoye said “I don’t think I can restrain myself from beating him up. Which window are you talking about? Where is it done that a former President is being ridiculed like this?”
On his part, Boma Goodhead declared in anger: “Is it because it’s Jonathan and he remains a gentleman that he is?”
All attempts to calm down the Bayelsa lawmaker were rebuffed as he beckoned on his colleague from Rivers State to walk out of the session with him.
The tide, however, appeared to be in Jonathan's favour as most of the lawmakers condemned the move made by the adhoc committee investigating the Malabu Oil deal scam to invite the former President.
