BREAKING: G-60 lawmakers protest in House of Reps over minority leadership [VIDEO]

The G-60 Minority Caucus in the House of Representatives on Thursday protested against the failure of the leadership of the House to address the controversy surrounding the position of Minority Leader.

This followed the move to shut out Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere from emerging as the Minority Leader of the House.

DAILY POST reports that the House Wednesday adopted a resolution barring first-time members from occupying principal officers’ positions.

The decision, however, did not go down well with members of the G-60, who stormed the Green chamber during plenary on Thursday, demanding that the leadership of the House address the issue.

According to them, the plenary proceedings are on hold if the House leadership fails to address the crisis.

Reports indicated that the group led by Ikenga Imo-Ugochinyere have thrown their weight behind members representing Sagbama-Ekeremor Federal Constituency of Bayelsa State, Fred Agbedi as Minority Leader and Abdusammad Dasuki as deputy.
