“Although he has apologized to me it doesn’t stand. I, therefore, call for his immediate resignation or sack”.

Ruling on the matter, Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila who presided over the plenary said that the matter had been noted.

“Your point of privilege has been noted,” Gbajabiamila said and hit the gavel.
