No fewer than fifteen members of the Benue State House of Assembly elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a member from the Labour Party have fled Makurdi, the state capital over alleged threat to their life.

The lawmakers claimed they fled Markurdi over threat to their life and monetary inducement by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led State Government.

According to the legislators, they left Makurdi on Tuesday, after the 7th assembly was dissolved without inaugurating the 8th assembly.
In separate interviews with newsmen, the lawmakers said they had been offered money and car gifts to allow the APC with 14 members take leadership of the House.

They also lamented that their refusal to accept the offer put them at cross purpose with the APC government which began to threaten their lives, forcing them to run to safety.
Meanwhile, DAILY POST has gathered that Hon Terkimbi Kyange has emerged as the speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly. He is a member of the APC.

what I want to know is how many of those running will be part of the 8th assembly?

if APC is the ruling party, they may not want the number 3 citizen to be an opposition. hence speaker should come from APC

Apc showing pdp pepper since 1500

Like Ekiti, Like Benue......Lawmakers running faster than Usain Bolt since 1900AD

The chicken has come home to roost.

Crisis from Day One? Interesting

It is a shame and pathetic that impunity and no respect for rule of law and insecurity that APC has been back biting the PDP led govt for 16years is what APC is doing now that the people has put them into Power.

When would Nigeria grow up from politics of bitterness and greed.

APC was saying 16 can never be greater than 19 nor 6 can not be greater than 25 but now they are saying 14 is greater than 15 or 16.

Shame to Nigerian Politicians.


Mtcheeeeeeeeew! politics in Nigeria stinks.

[/s] The clueless Xpresident was the pioneer of 16 greater than 19 brainlessness of the PDP, while this has nothing to the with APC leadership in the centre.

They ought to have discuss abt it, PDP for d speaker, APC for Deputy speaker, PDP Majority leader and APC for Deputy majority leader and LP for minority leader...dats d only way it can be resolved

How can an APC that has only 14 mebers produce speaker for PDP that has 15 lawmakers.

How can Police probe Rivers and Akwa ibom election while they turn a blind eye to Oyo, Lagos, Imo and Kano.

How can APC probe Mike okiro while Hafiz Ringim who is a known BH sympathizer walks free

How can APC probe Diezani while Sylva and Amaechi are savouring air of freedom

How can APC be in power and BH is waxing stronger daily

May God help us from this monster

Why is the Daura President silent on this?

Evil reign supreme when those in authority keep silent.

The brainless one is not around to witness this impunity, I learnt he wants to travel to Cameroun next wk

PDP always causing trouble wherever they are found. What stops them from reporting to the police

Nigerian politician and method of politicking remains the same weather APC or PDP.
Shame on those who preach change...cos in their bedrooms impunity has come to stay!

dem dey fear broom niii

A good teacher is a symbol of discipline, a constant reminder of what others want to be. It's when you discipline yourself effectively, that the attempt to discipline others becomes easy, you are their template, they just copy and paste easily. http://ayietim.
