By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Both House of Representatives Minority and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Caucuses have disowned Ikenga Ugochinyere and his coalition of opposition lawmakers saying such a body is unknown to the parliament.
This was contained in a statement issued and co-signed by all the minority caucus leaders, Kingsley Chinda, (Caucus leader), Ali Madaki, (deputy leader), Ali Isah J.C., (Minority Whip) and George Ozodinobi, (Deputy Minority Whip).
Apparently reacting to a press conference addressed by Hon Ikenga Ugochinyere and 5 others and 54 imaginary members under the aegis of coalition of opposition lawmakers declared that:
“Our attention has been drawn to a press release by the group and state unequivocally that the Minority caucus and PDP Caucus dissociate themselves from the said press statement.
“The said coalition of lawmakers led by Hon Ikenga Ugochinyere is unknown to the parliament and both caucuses condemn
in totality the absurd move, uncouth and unparliamentary language of the group.
“That the general public should take note that such a coalition is unknown to parliament and their demands does not represent that of the Minority parties.
“The said lawmakers should desist from further misinformation of the public and be more honourable in their conduct.
