The House of Representatives has begun the debate on the state of emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu in Rivers.
At the commencement of the debate on Thursday, a rep member, Obi Aguocha, demanded a head count of members present in the session to ensure that two-thirds necessary to form a quorum were present in the House.
However, the Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, ruled that the attendance register would be used instead of going for a head count.
