Popular Nigerian activist, Omoyele Sowore, has applauded the former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, for not withdrawing when she had issues with Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi, as seen in a viral video.

It is said that Senator Nwebonyi, a lawmaker representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District, and Dr Oby Ezekwesili had a heated verbal clash on Tuesday.

The dispute happened during an Ethics Committee hearing on sexual harassment allegations involving suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central and Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

In an interview on Channels TV, Senator Nwebonyi stated that the disagreement started when Ezekwesili called him as a hooligan and asked him to shut up.

Sowore reacted in in a post on his official Facebook page on Wednesday, said Nwebonyi’s character shows that the upper legislative chamber is “clearly a waste of resources” and should be removed.

“Look at this individual’s behavior and explain to me why the Nigerian Senate should not be scrapped, as it is clearly a waste of resources to send unproductive representatives to a rubber stamp assembly.

“I commend Oby Ezekwesili for not backing down”, Sowore wrote.
