Pound-for-Pound: Benue lawmakers exchange blows

The fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao was dubbed the biggest fight of the century but both fighters would have enjoyed this pound-for-pound action.

Lawmakers belonging to the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party were locked in a brawl at the Benue State House of Assembly, north-central Nigeria, on Tuesday following a letter addressed to the Speaker by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to appoint majority leader for the Assembly.

Channel TV News reported that the free for all fight at the plenary started when the Speaker, Mr Terkimbi Kyange, read the APC’s letter in which it claimed majority after a lawmaker of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defected into its fold, which gave it a marginal lead over the PDP. The APC and PDP were split 15-17 in the House.
