Chaos erupts as Jigawa delegates disrupt Atiku, Obi coalition meeting (video)
A coalition meeting involving former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi and others descended into chaos as delegates from Jigawa State disrupted the proceedings.
The coalition meeting, which was held at the Abuja Continental Hotel, was running smoothly until the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, announced a delegation from Taraba were about to speak for the state at the meeting.
In protest, several Jigawa delegates stormed the stage, blocking the individual from speaking and insisting they would not be represented by those named.
As the confrontation escalated, 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 restored after several minutes of appeals, as Mustapha Lamido, son of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, along with another delegate, was chosen to speak on behalf of the state.
