 Speaker Abbas Briefly Disrupted As Man Grabs Agbada During Zaria Rally


The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, experienced a brief disruption on Saturday while announcing his intention to seek a fifth term in office during a rally in Zaria, Kaduna State.


During the event at the Mallawa Eid Ground, an unidentified man suddenly grabbed the Speaker’s agbada while he was addressing supporters from the podium. 


A video of the moment, which was later deleted from Facebook, showed Abbas momentarily losing balance before quickly regaining composure and continuing his speech.


The clip circulated widely online before it was removed.


A source close to the Speaker dismissed claims that the incident was an attack, explaining that the man involved was reportedly ill and trying to attract the Speaker’s attention for medical assistance.


According to the source, the man had swollen hands and initially raised them before pulling the Speaker’s attire. 


The source also accused some individuals of editing the video to create a misleading impression of the incident.


Abbas officially declared his bid for another term representing Zaria Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives. 


He stated that his decision was based on his record of achievements and developmental projects attracted to the constituency.


Speaking at the rally, the Speaker described himself as one of the country’s most active lawmakers, noting that he had sponsored 74 bills, with 21 already signed into law since he was first elected in 2011.
