lawmakers stormed the Green Chamber in a dramatic escalation of tensions following moves to exclude Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere from emerging as Minority Leader of the House.
House of reps opposition leadership crisis intensified after the chamber reportedly adopted a resolution on Wednesday barring first-time members from occupying principal officer positions, a decision that immediately triggered strong opposition within the minority bloc.
Upon the resumption of plenary, members of the G-60 Caucus disrupted proceedings, insisting that the leadership must address the matter without delay or risk a complete halt of legislative business.
The protest, described by observers as a forceful show of dissent, underscored deepening divisions within the opposition ranks over the distribution of leadership roles in the lower chamber.
Leading the agitation, the group reportedly expressed strong backing for Fred Agbedi of Bayelsa State as Minority Leader and Abdusamad Dasuki as Deputy Minority Leader, signalling a shift in internal consensus among some lawmakers.
House minority leadership political crisis has now placed pressure on Speaker Abbas Tajudeen and other principal officers to find a resolution capable of restoring order and stability within the chamber.
Political observers note that the situation reflects broader tensions within party structures as lawmakers continue negotiations over influential positions in the House.
