The Minority and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the House of Representatives has disowned the 60-member coalition of opposition lawmakers in the Green Chamber, saying such a body was unknown to the parliament and that they would not be part of it.

The caucuses were reacting to the briefing Monday by a member, Ikenga Ugochinyere and five others, on behalf of the coalition, wherein they called for the resignation of the acting National Chairman of the PDP, Umar Damagum.

The caucus made its position know in a statement signed in Abuja by all the minority caucus leaders, including Kingsley Chinda, (caucus leader), Ali Madaki, (deputy leader), Ali Isah J.C., (minority whip) and George Ozodinobi, (deputy minority whip). 

Recall that 60 PDP federal lawmakers, under the aegis of the opposition lawmakers coalition, had on Monday threatened to quit the party if the alleged doctored list of local government caretaker committees of the party in Rivers and 10 other states, which was filled with members and loyalists of the All Progressives Congress was not changed.
