Opposition House of Reps members chant ‘APC ole’ after walking out of plenary over Electoral Act amendment

Some members of the House of Representatives have staged a walk out of the green chamber in protest against the move to rescind the passage of the Electoral Act Amendment bill. Tempers flared up after the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Rules and Business, moved a motion for the House to reverse its decision on the bill which was passed on December 23, 2025. The Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, had put the motion to a voice vote. While the nays were louder than the ayes, he ruled that the ayes had it, an action that caused the lawmakers to protest. Abbas subsequently called for an executive session, but that did not resolve the issue as the house was plunged into another rowdy session. The lawmakers continued their protest over Clause 60(3) which deals with compulsory electronic transmission of results. They stood and prevented the Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, from continuing with the proceedings. Eventually, aggrieved members walked out of the plenary. While leaving, the opposition lawmakers could be heard shouting APC Ole'' which means APC thieves. Watch the video below     View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial)  The post Opposition House of Reps members chant APC ole after walking out of plenary over Electoral Act amendment appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
