What Nigerians Think Of The Fight By Speaker Abbas’ Wives

Kamoru Ogunlana, deputy clerk of the house, recited the oaths for the new speaker to respond to.

Abbas was flanked on his left by one of his wives and Alhassan Doguwa, lawmaker, representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada federal constituency.

The routine event was, however, interrupted by another wife of Abbas, who barged onto the podium and shoved the other wife to the side.

The action appeared to have shocked Abbas, who halted his oath rendering to exchange heated words with the wife who barged onto the stage.

Despite the exchanges, none of the wives backed down as the proceedings continued with both of them on the dais.

Here are some reactions on twitter as gathered by GWG.ng to the fight among the wives of Abbas on the swearing in of their husband:

@dedonnse1: “I thought they said Muslim women weren’t jealous and were cool with polygamy?” 

RBiakpara said: “They’re first women before anything else.” 

@IamSomebodyEls1: “Do they swear the wives in too? There may be wife 3 and wife 4 you know.”
