The Majority Chief Whip of Parliament, , has asserted that a change of venue could have prevented the chaos that erupted during the vetting of ministerial nominees on Thursday, January 30, 2025.
Speaking during the ad-hoc committee set up to investigate the incident, on Monday, February 10, 2025, the MP emphasised the need for better logistical planning to prevent a recurrence of the incident in future.
The Member of Parliament of South Dayi also argued that the overcrowding and charged atmosphere contributed significantly to the chaos, making it difficult for the vetting process to proceed smoothly.
Dafeamekpor further explained that moving the session to a more spacious and controlled environment could have helped de-escalate tensions and ensured a more orderly process. "I think the prudent thing that should be considered by any chairman confronted with a similar situation in the future is to change the venue. "That Thursday, if we had moved to the Speaker's conference room, for instance, I am sure that by the time we had relocated, order would have been restored.
