Nollywood actress and Labour Party member, Hilda Dokubo, on Friday, April 11, reacted to a viral video of a federal lawmaker, Honourable Abbas Adigun, who struggled to express himself during a plenary session.

Adigun, who represents Ibadan North-East/South East Federal Constituency, was seen in the footage attempting to rescind an earlier motion but appeared confused and unable to articulate his thoughts clearly.

He was later corrected by the Speaker of the House, Rt Hon Tajudeen Abbas, who, alongside other members, was recently cleared of bribery in the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers state.
