“To our greatest surprise, we were in the House today very early in the morning, we got an information that there is an attempt to impeach our Speaker. I went and I found seven people and I was the eighth person before the rest came. We are not in agreement with what happened, the Governor is a lawyer, he knows the constitution, he will not accept that illegal process, if he does, it is left for him to battle with his profession.”

Gerrard59:


But that's the truth...those members teamed up with the governor to sack the speaker because he (the speaker) planned impeaching the governor for his incompetence and perfidious attitudes towards the insecurity crises in the state.

I'm not surprised with the names I see. Cattle rustlers pushing for the removal of a speaker who is an indigene. The people of Plateau must ensure those janjawee.ds fellows don't retain power come 2023.

Automolite:
