A high-stakes political coalition meeting involving former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, and former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi turned chaotic after delegates from Jigawa State disrupted proceedings over representation issues.

The meeting, held at the Abuja Continental Hotel and organized by the National Political Consultative Group (North), was temporarily halted following heated protests by Jigawa delegates.

Tensions flared when Babachir Lawal, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), announced a speaker for Jigawa. The move sparked immediate outrage, prompting several Jigawa representatives to storm the stage, rejecting the chosen delegate and demanding proper representation.

Security operatives, including members of the Nigerian Police, Department of State Services (DSS), and private security, swiftly intervened to shield key political figures, including Atiku, Obi, and Amaechi.

After intense back-and-forth, calm was restored. Mustapha Lamido, son of former Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido, was eventually accepted to represent Jigawa alongside another agreed delegate.
