Chaos Erupts as Jigawa Delegates Disrupt Atiku and Obi Coalition Meeting

A high-level coalition meeting involving former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and others descended into chaos when delegates from Jigawa State disrupted the proceedings.

The ongoing coalition meeting at the Abuja Continental Hotel, organised by the National Political Consultative Group (North), faced interruptions due to a disagreement over representation for Jigawa State.

Tensions escalated when former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, announced a delegate to speak on behalf of the state. In protest, several Jigawa delegates stormed the stage, blocking the designated speaker and insisting they would not accept representation from those named.

As the confrontation intensified, security personnel, including members of the Nigerian Police, DSS, and private guards, quickly formed a protective barrier around key figures such as Atiku, Amaechi, and others.

Calm was eventually restored after several minutes of appeals, leading to the selection of Mustapha Lamido, son of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, along with another delegate, to speak on behalf of the state.
