However, the House was thrown into a rowdy session when a PDP lawmaker, Chinyere Igwe, protested by shouting on top of his voice over the alleged reduction of the percentage for host communities from 5% to 3% after the conference committee of both the Senate and the House of Representatives harmonised the document.
