David Mark orders immediate closure of the National Assembly till 25th Nov.

The Senate President, David Mark, has announced an immediate closure of the National Assembly after an attempt to stop the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, from the assembly, plunged the complex into chaos. Police fired teargas to push back a surging crowd Thursday after Mr. Tambuwal was denied access thrice before his loyalists smuggled him into the House of Representatives’ chamber later. Apparently invoking his powers as the chairman of the National Assembly, Mr. Mark announced an immediate adjournment of the two chambers till Tuesday to forestall a breakdown of law and order. Mr. Mark had reportedly met Mr. Tambuwal in solidarity after the speaker successfully gained access into the chamber. The House of Representativeswas in session at the time of the announcement, and it is yet unclear whether the Reps members will abide by Mr. Mark’s declaration.

Obiano's wife again? Anambra State first lady slaps the deputy Governor's Wife.

The wife of Anambra State Governor, Her Excellency, Mrs Ebere Jennifer Ukamaka Obiano has continued to bring odium to Anambra State Government. Her latest display of the absurd was the slapping of the wife of the Deputy Governor, Mrs Okeke. Trouble started on Sunday the 16th of November, 2014, after the dedication of the child of the Anglican Bishop of Awka, His Lordship Most Rev. Dr. Ibezim at the cathedral of St. Faith, Awka. The wife of the deputy Governor complained to Dr. Alex Ekwueme as a mother of all on how Ebere Obiano does not carry her along in whatever she does. Desirous of brokering peace, Ekwueme's Wife, HE, Beatrice Ekwueme accounted Mrs Obiano and advised her on the need to carry everybody, especially the wife of the deputy Governor along. At this point, Mrs Obiano flayed and claimed that the constitution recognizes her and not the Wife of the Deputy. Immediately her Deputy shouted back, she slapped her. It took the intervention of security men to prevent the duo from physical fight.
