Abuja – Another round of drama is imminent in the House of Representatives as factional leader of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Caucus, Kingsley Chinda (Rivers) has occupied the seat meant for the Minority Leader.

Recall that, the House Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila on Wednesday announced Ndudi Elumelu (PDP, Delta) as the House Minority Leader as against a list said to have been sent in by the opposition PDP.

Chinda’s group had protested the announcement by the speaker, accusing him of plotting to undermine opposition parties by foisting leaders on them.

But both Gbajabiamila and the Elumelu faction contended that the announcement was in line with Order 7 Rule 8, 12 and 14 which deal with matters of ranking and the rights of all minority parties to produce principal officers and not a particular party as the PDP had done.

But Chinda’s group on Thursday has taken positions in the front row meant for principal officers from minority parties with the support of members such as Tajudeen Yusuf from Kogi and Sergius Ogun from Edo.

Chinda is being joined by Muraina Ajibola (PDP, Oyo) who was purportedly picked by the party to be deputy minority Whip and two other unknown faces.

It remains to be seen what will happen when the speaker comes into the chamber, accompanied by Elumelu and his fellow announced minority principal officers, as the probable thing would be to ask Chinda and his group to vacate the seats.

O God of mercy when are we going to move forwards?, think and acts like US, Russia China, Germany, Japan, Mexico, India, even common South Africa and stop debating on who and who in position

APC is a party without a conscience...PDP gave way for easy emergence of your majority principal officers..now for the minority which will not even be your concern, they are still playing dirty politics....

Thoughout 16 fruitful years of PDP rule, never did they try to manipulate the minority speakers outcome....

APC should be thoroughly dealt with whenever PDP gets back to power. They are practising politics of wickedness

PDP no get shame,Agbaya! Dragging minority position with other parties,is elumelu not from PDP?Gbaja shld suspend chinda

oluwole4love:
The Speaker should do the right thing now, I think whoever is on d party list for minority position should be give, Don't heat up d polity, it's too early for this Nonsense Mr. Speaker Sir

You don't understand sir.

PDP is not the only opposition party in the house!
PDP can not unilaterally send list!

PentiumPro:


This is the argument that the supporters of the PDP course of action don’t want to talk about

They prefer the name calling!

Instead of them to use brain

It's obvious that you a kid.


You are also too emotional.


Use your brain not your emotion.

Also compare what is happening to what happened during saraki/dogara era

Yorubas ....they are same no matter what

You are trying to play a tribal card, when will you guys start to think straight? is PDP the only minority party in the house?

RichBoy247:
Where is Atikuchukwu and Obituary together with Obasanjo the incest and Goatluck Jonathan the ineffectual buffoon? Come and call your dogs to order.

No respect for elders.

PentiumPro:


Elumelu is yoruba?

You guy are so disgusting. Dirty nerves

Chinda is from Rivers state like Uche Secondus or whatever he is called, Elumelu from Delta is more of a ranking rep than him

PDP is NOT the only minority party and such silly arrogance will not be acceptable. The earlier the party understand it place in the National Assembly the better. There is no more Saraki or Dogara to undermine the majority party with

Lots of pdp supported the femi guy ...he begged the party governors now he staps them in the back

Oh

You de crase. Shut up there

mrvitalis:

Yorubas ....they are same no matter what

Vitalis, you've finally lost it.

When Wike, Ekweremmadu etc supported Saraki to undermine APC by imposing Ndume as majority leader against the choice of Lawan, even after usurping the Senate presidency, you and your family didn't remember tribes then?

If buhari disappointed you so much, does it mean you should lose your common sense?

mrvitalis:

Lots of pdp supported the femi guy ...he begged the party governors now he staps them in the back

78 people did not vote him. Most are in PDP. PDP is not the only minority party in the senate. Secondus and Wike will not just write names in their bedroom and force Gbaja to announce. Gbaja has announced the elected minority leadership, if Chinda or whatever his name might be try nonsense, he will be suspended and EFCC will investigate him afterwards

mrvitalis:

Lots of pdp supported the femi guy ...he begged the party governors now he staps them in the back

Chinda, Wike's lapdog was openly against him. He even went on TV to claim that Femi rigged the election.

If you don't know this is a battle between the governors for control of PDP, then you're even more naive than previously thought. The BOT and some governors e.g Okowa and Seriake want to cut Wike to size before 2023 and it's starting here

ogmask:


I think the argument is that elumelu is a product of all the minority parties while chinda is of the PDP alone. For me, since rivers has secondus as chair they should allow delta take this one.

there is nothing wrong if chinda is minority leader but if majority members including those in other parties say this is who they want then chinda and his outside force should take a chill pill...any nass position is decided by members of nass party can Just influence wisely

mrvitalis:

Lots of pdp supported the femi guy ...he begged the party governors now he staps them in the back

so elumelu who is pdp has no right to nass leadership or other parties have no right to decide who becomes minority leader...you are not intelligent

mrvitalis:
Yorubas ....they are same no matter what

You just have to bring Yoruba into it. You have lost all sense of rationality and common sense

DIKEnaWAR:


I said this in one other topic like that, Gbaja is a good Legislator but he lacks the temperament and emotional intelligence to be Speaker. He is going to cause many confusions and in fighting before the party shoos him away.

Ignorant.

BabaOwen:
Do you know PDP is not the only minority party in the house? PDP alone can't dictate who the minority leader will be.

dont be clever by half. PDP alone can decide it if they go by votes.the other minority parties put together are just about 20 out of 140
afonjas have started again with betrayal. PDP gov supported him. he himself benefited from the same system he is castigating now without seeing anything wrong.APC just like setting wrong precedents. that was how they set the precedent of abusing a sitting president but later turn around to call it hate speech when the tide turned.

mrvitalis:

Yorubas ....they are same no matter what

Vitalis, come and see another Yoruba man has shown his colour

Why do fake jews always show their political illiteracy everywhere?

Is this not one of the PDP governors you claim he betrayed? Will you now accuse Umahi and PDP BOT of betrayal?
