The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has officially announced Hon. Fred Agbedi from Bayelsa State as the new Minority Leader of the 10th House of Representatives. The announcement followed heightened tension in the Green Chamber on Thursday, where opposition lawmakers staged a protest demanding the formal recognition of Agbedi for the position. Dailygists reports that the development sparked a brief disruption in proceedings as some members of the opposition caucus insisted that plenary would not proceed until the leadership issue was resolved. A video circulating on social media showed lawmakers chanting “no announcement, no sitting,” as they gathered at the lobby of the National Assembly complex. The protesting lawmakers, reportedly operating under the G-60 opposition caucus, are said to have thrown their support behind Agbedi, who represents the Sagbama-Ekeremor Federal Constituency of Bayelsa State, as Minority Leader. They also backed Abdusammad Dasuki of Kebbe-Tambuwal Federal Constituency of Sokoto State as Deputy Minority Leader. The group, led by Ikenga Imo-Ugochinyere, maintained that the minority leadership positions must reflect their internal consensus and insisted on immediate formalisation during plenary. Following the pressure from the lawmakers, Speaker Abbas eventually made the announcement, formally recognising Agbedi in the role. The House has yet to issue a detailed official explanation regarding the process that led to the resolution of the leadership dispute.

By now, a reasonable chamber would have summoned the president over the insecurity in the country

They could get away with this because they have the numbers

They insisted there will be no sitting unless a new minority leader is chosen

The same Ugochenyere that was busy claiming to FUBARA he is somebody in Nigeria politics was kicked out from the contest of minority leader.

When will they start Impeachment proceedings against Jagaban for his inability to protect even his own kinsmen in Ogbomoso from Bandits and Kidnappers...
