Kingsley Chinda, the Peoples
Democratic Party’s (PDP) choice for the position of Minority Leader in the
House of Representatives, on Thursday sat on the seat meant for the Minority
Leader.
Mr Chinda has been at loggerheads
with the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, over the latter’s decision to recognise Ndidi
Elumelu as Minority Leader.
The plenary appears to be heated
as the speaker has refused to recognise Mr Chinda, despite raising a point of
order countlessly.
Mr Gbajabiamila, contrary to
PDP’s decision, named Ndudi Elumelu as the House Minority Leader.
The speaker said his action was
based on a notice he received that Mr Elumelu was elected by 90 opposition
lawmakers.
The action was, however, opposed
by many PDP lawmakers which led to an abrupt end of plenary on Wednesday.
The opposition party had, in a
letter, announced Mr Chinda as its leader in the House.
The party also nominated Chukwuka
Onyema as Deputy Minority Leader, Yakubu Barde as Minority Whip and Muraina
Ajibola as Deputy Minority Whip.
Both Messrs Chinda and Elumelu
are PDP members.
