Coalition Meeting with Atiku, Obi, Amaechi Erupts in Chaos!(Video)

 

A high-stakes coalition meeting in Abuja, gathering political heavyweights like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, and former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, took an unexpected turn this weekend, descending into chaotic scenes as delegates from Jigawa State dramatically disrupted the proceedings.

Held at the prestigious Abuja Continental Hotel, the meeting was reportedly running smoothly until a pivotal moment: former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, announced that a delegation from Taraba was about to address the gathering on behalf of their state.

This announcement proved to be the spark. Several Jigawa delegates, in a swift and vocal protest, stormed the stage. They vehemently blocked the designated individual from speaking, insisting that they would not be represented by the names put forward. As the confrontation rapidly escalated, quick-thinking security personnel including members of the Nigerian Police, the DSS, and private guards immediately formed a protective barrier around key figures such as Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, and others, ensuring their safety amidst the unexpected turmoil.

After several tense minutes of appeals and intervention, calm was eventually restored. The situation was diffused when Mustapha Lamido, son of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, alongside another delegate, was ultimately chosen to speak on behalf of the state, bringing a temporary resolution to the dramatic standoff.

This incident offers a vivid glimpse into the often-volatile dynamics of Nigerian politics, where even high-level meetings can quickly unravel into public spectacles of disagreement and power plays.
