November 12, (THEWILL) – The Police on Friday unsealed the Plateau State of Assembly complex, allowing Speaker Yakubu Sanda and some other lawmakers to hold a plenary.
The House presided over Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda, on Friday received executive communication from Governor Simon Lalong, seeking confirmation of the Chairman and six other members of the State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC).
Speaker Sanda who read the communication said governor Lalong is seeking for the screening of Mr. Fabian Ari Ntum as chairman of the electoral body.
The House resolved to screen the seven nominees in another legislative session, as moved by House Majority leader Naa’anlong Daniel.
The House also stood down deliberations on the 2022 budget following a motion raised by Rt. Hon. Ibrahim Baba Hassan, that the hallowed chamber was not conducive for such discussions.
THEWILL recalls that since the purported impeachment of the embattled Speaker, Abok Ayuba and the alleged emergence of Sanda as the new Speaker, the Police had sealed the House to forestall the breakdown of law.
The Assembly was also vandalised during the fracas. But a plenary presided over by Sanda on Friday, resolved to move legislative sessions to  the old Government House pending when the hallowed chamber in the Assembly complex will be fixed back.
House Speaker, Sanda, has adjourned plenary till next week.
