Mustapha Lamido, son of the former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, along with another delegate, has been appointed by a coalition involving parties led by Atiku and Obi to represent the state.
According to Insight Link, the selection was agreed upon at a political consultative meeting held by the National Political Consultative Group (North) in Abuja.
The meeting, attended by prominent political figures in attendance like the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, and former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi initially erupted into a fight when delegates from Jigawa State objected to the appointment of a representative
The disruption began when Babachir Lawal, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, announced a speaker on behalf of Jigawa State.
Enraged by the unilateral decision, Jigawa delegates stormed the stage, halting the proceedings and refusing to allow the representative to speak.
Security personnel including operatives from the Nigerian Police, DSS, and private security teams intervened promptly, forming a protective cordon around key participants such as Atiku and Amaechi.
Following a tense standoff, order was eventually restored and Mustapha Lamido, was appointed to represent the state.
