Dis controversy start when Senator Simon Lalong, wey dey head di Senate Committee on Electoral Matters, introduce motion wey address di Itsekiri Ethnic Nationality’s petition. Him talk say di delineation exercise don sideline di Itsekiri community as dem reduce their wards while two Ijaw communities dey flex with more wards.

Lalong no sharp mouth as him dey confirm say some communities wey INEC include for dia map no even dey within Delta State, dem dey waka enter Edo and Ondo states. ‘Dis matter fit lead to serious political crisis if we no investigate am properly,’ Lalong yan. But wetin you expect? Di motion quickly catch fire when Senator Joel Onowakpor (APC, Delta South) sharply counter say di issue dey court already, so make Senate no put mouth. Na so di argument begin heat up!

Ede Dafinone back up Onowakpor as dem all gree say to let Senate interfere go raise more confusion makes no sense. Tension rise when Lalong mention say him don see letter from di Presidency – wahala no fit end there as Onowakpor vex, accusing Lalong of personal vested interest. Omo, dem engage well! But despite di drama, di Senate no gree wahala finish dem, dem refer di case to a joint committee wey go probe di issue.

Dem don give di committee four weeks to conclude di assignment before reporting back to di plenary sessions. Omo, no be small gist as di Senate come put matter clear, dey dismiss reports wey claim say di Senate President Godswill Akpabio fit see impeachment; dem talk say na serious misinformation wey fit derail lawmakers from tackling di pressing national issues.

Di Senate Leader come drop di bombshell say no be under their watch wey Kalu’s statements dey misrepresented like that. ‘If we let this kind misinfo fly, e fit distract us from di pressing matters on ground,’ him talk. Na as di gist dey go, di Senate still dey unite behind Akpabio, dem even adopt wetin dem dey call zero tolerance for any distraction. So, e be like say dis wahala fit take time to cool down, but one thing dey clear: Nigeria political scene go continue dey hot as dem dey fight for their own.
