“Ezekwesili, Nwaebonyi in Heated Verbal Clash During Proceedings”
A heated exchange erupted during a public hearing as Oby Ezekwesili and Senator Onyeka Nwaebonyi engaged in a verbal confrontation that briefly disrupted proceedings.
Ezekwesili faced criticism from some quarters, with accusations that she was forcing herself into the discussions. However, she firmly insisted on being heard, stating, “I asked to be put on oath as a witness. I am a citizen of Nigeria.”
Her statement triggered a sharp reaction from Nwaebonyi, who lashed out, saying, “You’re a fool. What do you mean? Why are you talking to me like that? I will not take it. You’re an insult to womanhood. People like you cannot be here.”
In response, Ezekwesili fired back, calling him a “hooligan,” further escalating the altercation. The exchange momentarily disrupted the hearing before order was restored.
Tensions ran high as Nwaebonyi was heard making derogatory remarks toward Ezekwesili, referring to her as an “insult to womanhood”.
