November 21, (THEWILL) – The Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Abok Nuhu Ayuba, has denied a rumour peddled by a reactionary and manipulated section of the House that he resigned his position as Speaker.
Abok has described the information as false and baseless and the handiwork of some detractors and mischief makers who are bent on misinforming and misleading the public.
Abok said he had never been impeached or removed from office by any means and wondered who he would have addressed such a resignation letter to.
“It is forged. They have been asking me to do
that, but I will never resign because I was not impeached in the first place. If I have to resign, I will do so publicly,” he noted in a statement released in Jos.
THEWILL recalls that the Plateau State House of Assembly has been in crisis, no thanks to the executive allegedly determined to change the leadership of the House at all costs.
This led to seven out of 24 members coming together at unofficial hours to ‘impeach’ the speaker and they were hosted at Government House with a pledge to work and cooperate with the new but embattled
‘leadership’.
Last Monday, the security agencies provided cover for the illegal group led by Yakubu Sanda, after a questionable midnight
invasion left the Assembly Chambers vandalised and out of shape.
The same embattled group led by Yakubu Sanda, but supports Gov Simon Lalong sat illegally last Tuesday and ‘approved’ the list of PLASIEC commissioners and was wrongly reported by some media Houses as having been approved by the State House of Assembly as properly constituted.
