Opposition Abuja Meeting Descends into Cacophony
A meeting of opposition leaders and delegates at the Abuja Continental Hotel on Sunday descended into chaos, with fervent debates and physical skirmishes erupting over issues of representation.
The assembly featured illustrious figures, including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rotimi Amaechi.
The discord ignited when Babachir Lawal appointed a delegate to articulate the interests of Jigawa State, inciting other delegates from the state to storm the stage in protest.
The atmosphere grew tumultuous, with delegates vociferously expressing their dissent.
Police officers and DSS operatives intervened to restore order and safeguard key figures at the meeting.
Once tranquility was restored, new representatives were elected to speak for Jigawa State, including Mustapha Lamido, son of former Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido.
The incident underscores the complexities of reconciling diverse interests and viewpoints within the opposition coalition.
