The House of Representatives  was in a rowdy session on Tuesday afternoon after the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, ruled Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus leader, Kingsley Chinda, out of order.

Mr Chinda had asked that the Twitter ban imposed by the federal government be suspended in the interim.
However, following opposition to the motion, lawmakers and some members of the PDP staged a walkout.

Briefing journalists later, the PDP caucus leader,  Chinda who spoke on behalf of other lawmakers said the House will move an official motion tomorrow (Wednesday) to that effect.
