Following a disagreement between Senator Ireti Kingibe and Senate President Godswill Akpabio, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) lawmaker staged a walk out in protest during plenary on Thursday.

Senator Kingibe wanted to bring up a motion concerning the demolition of Paul OSA Ogbeboh Estate in Abuja for discussion during the day’s plenary, but Akpabio wouldn’t allow her to do so.

Akpabio noted that the motion was not listed on the order paper for the day, and the lawmakers were already discussing matters listed for the day’s session, hence could not go back as such would contravene Senate procedures.

Despite her attempts to argue her case as a matter of urgent national importance, Kingibe was unable to convince the Senate President otherwise.

This prompted her to leave the chamber in protest.
