FCT, Abuja - The chaos broke out at the coalition meeting of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi and others.

Legit.ng recalls that Atiku and Obi are both attending the National Political Consultative Group (North) event holding at the Abuja Continental Hotel at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

It was gathered that the coalition meeting was briefly disrupted following a disagreement over representation for Jigawa State.

The delegates from Jigawa State disrupted the proceedings on Sunday, May 25, 2025.

As reported by The Punch, pandemonium stated when former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, announced a delegate to speak for the state.

Several Jigawa delegates stormed the stage in protest, blocking the individual from speaking and insisting they would not be represented by those named.

Police operatives, DSS, and private guards, quickly formed a protective barrier around key figures such as Atiku, Amaechi, and others.

Calm was later restored after several minutes of appeals after the confrontation escalated.

Mustapha, son of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, along with another delegate, were chosen to speak on behalf of the state.

Obi better be careful, agitated alamajiri not only is disruptive, they can get dangerous too.

@RealDamola

Shows how fragile alliances built on convenience really are. If Jigawa delegates can disrupt this easily, what hope is there for united leadership in 2027? Politics remains a circus, not a solution.

@CardinalStation

Tinubu and APC’s handiwork 😂

@EfeOdafeU

Wahala for Atiku. Peter Obi is a political neophyte. He will end up losing on both sides.

Atiku, Peter Obi deal not yet possible

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Babachir shed light on the dynamics within the nascent opposition coalition.

In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, Lawal asserted that the coalition is not solely focused on Atiku Abubakar’s presidential ambition.

The ex-government official mentioned Peter Obi, saying he does not see why the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election would join a coalition to build up a system that will solely benefit Atiku.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a key meeting happened on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, between the camps of Atiku and Obi.

At the meeting, Nigerian opposition leaders agreed to adopt the ADC as the main coalition platform.

Reacting, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) declared Atiku and others' political ambition as doomed ahead of the 2027 election.
