Akpabio Vs Natasha: Senate Hearing Turns Chaotic As Nwaebonyi, Ezekwesili Clash

A heated exchange erupted on Tuesday between Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi, representing Ebonyi North, and former Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili during a Senate committee hearing on ethics, privileges, and public petitions.

The altercation occurred as the committee deliberated on a fresh petition filed by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Ezekwesili attended the session alongside Abiola Akiode, counsel to Akpoti-Uduaghan, and petitioner Zubairu Yakubu.

Tensions rose when Yakubu attempted to speak while the committee chairman, Neda Imaseun, was addressing the panel.
