Nasarawa State lawmakers fight over governor's Local Government appointments
According to Channels TV, the fight was caused because Gov. Tanko Al-Makura, appointed and inaugurated sole administrators to man the affairs of their local government councils pending when elections would be conducted.
The decision, however, did not go down well for some lawmakers, as they had earlier resolved to conduct elections immediately after the expiration of the tenure of the local government council chairmen, on March 24, 2016. .
6 out of the 24 lawmakers alleged that the others had been bribed to go against their resolution. The allegations reportedly prompted the House leader to move for their suspension, a motion that resulted in the chaos.
