Confusion erupted during a high profile coalition meeting involving Alhahi Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Peter Obi, former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi and others after delegates from Jigawa State disrupted the process..
The coalition meeting which is ongoing at the Abuja Continental Hotel, organised by the National Political Consultative Group (North), was briefly disrupted following a disagreement over representation for Jigawa State.
News Band understand that tensions were high when former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, announced a delegate to speak for the state.
In protest, several Jigawa delegates stormed the stage, blocking the individual from speaking and insisting they would not be represented by those named.
Moreover, as tension flared, security operatives, including members of the Nigerian Police, DSS, and private guards, quickly formed a protective barrier around key figures such as Atiku, Amaechi and others.
However, normalcy was later 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.
