The G-60 Minority Caucus in Nigeria’s House of Representatives on Thursday staged a dramatic protest, challenging the leadership’s handling of the ongoing dispute over the position of Minority Leader.
The uproar followed a resolution adopted by the House on Wednesday, which barred first-time lawmakers from holding principal officer positions.
This move effectively blocked Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere from emerging as Minority Leader, sparking outrage among his supporters.
During Thursday’s plenary, members of the G-60 stormed the Green Chamber, insisting that proceedings would not continue unless the leadership addressed the crisis.
Reports indicate that the group, led by Ugochinyere, has thrown its support behind Fred Agbedi of Bayelsa State’s Sagbama-Ekeremor Federal Constituency as Minority Leader, with Abdusammad Dasuki tipped as deputy.
