Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has scheduled an emergency meeting for Monday, October 6th, 2025, to deliberate on a suit filed by embattled Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda, aimed at halting his planned removal.

The notice of the emergency meeting, jointly signed by leaders across different minority caucuses in the House including Fred Agbedi, Afam Ogene, Muktar Umar-Zakari, and Peter Uzokwe, invited all minority caucus members to review the lawsuit instituted by Kingsley Chinda, against all members of minority parties in the 10th House of Representatives.

Chinda, who represents Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency of Rivers State, had in an ex parte motion brought before the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on September 15, 2025, and filed a day later sought to prevent what the lawmaker described as an unlawful and politically motivated move to remove him from his leadership position in the House.

Justice J. O. Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court, had in response to the suit issued an interim order restraining Chinda’s removal as Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, pending the determination of the substantive suit.

The application, argued by a team of senior lawyers led by Dr. J. Y. Musa (SAN), urged the court to intervene and maintain the status quo, alleging that certain members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), particularly those opposed to Chinda’s association with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, were plotting to unseat him in violation of legislative procedures.

The suit has the National Assembly, its Clerk, House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Social Democratic Party (SDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Young Progressives Party (YPP) as defendants.
