The groups gathered at the assembly gate as early as 8 a.m. ahead of the resumption of plenary.

Some of their banners read, “Akpabio Must Go” and “Protect Women’s Rights”.
THE WHISTLER reports Akpoti-Uduaghan last week accused Akpabio of targeting her because she refused his sexual advances.
The allegation made on live TV followed controversy caused by a change in seating arrangements in the Senate on February 20.
