The fight occurred between the Chairman of the APC in Yola North, Alhaji Salihu Ahmed and the Chief of Staff to GovernorMuhammadu Jibrilla, Abdulrahman Abba Jimeta over the weekend, Daily Trust reports.
The trouble was said to have started when Jimeta refused to recognize Ahmed as the rightful chairman of Yola North.
The argument led to a verbal fight which eventually deteriorated to a brawl which saw Jimeta taking off a piece of clothing to improve his chance of victory.
