The plan to remove the Plateau State House of Assembly Speaker, Hon. Abok Ayuba, seems to have failed, as only Seven ( 7) members out of the 24-Member House turned up for the execution of the plan this morning, 28th October, 2021.
REALITY gathered that, the House was broken into by the plotters at about 6.00am and took to the floor to execute their removal plans at 6.46am, but were frustrated by two loyal members to the Speaker, which led to some jabs.
REALITY also gathered that, some members who attempted to enter the complex were stopped by security operatives at the time of executing the plot.
Addressing members of the press at the assembly complex, members who still remain loyal to Speaker Abok have described the exercise as, “A complete failure”.
Speaking through Hon. Daniel, a member of the House, the loyal members to Hon. Abok said, “there is one Speaker and that is Hon. Ayuba Abok and the attempt to install a new speaker was foiled and has become a black history for the Plateau people”.
According to him, “Rt. Hon. Abok is suffering today, because, he stood for the truth during the massacre of Plateau people in Bassa and Jos North Local Government Areas (LGAs).
Flanked by other members, Hon. Daniel, representing Langtang North State Constituency said, “The plotters fled after attempting to remove the speaker. If they had the support of the House, why did they run away? More also, the time they invaded the house to execute their illegal plan, the House does not sit at those hours and any sitting that is not recognized by our rules deems the process illegal, null and void.
“We gathered that the plotters have relocated to an unknown place because they have dared to stir the patience of the people of plateau who have concern and sympathy for the speaker owing to his position and principle of protecting their lives and properties”.
As at the time of filing this report, the roads leading to the House of Assembly are blocked by stain looking security operative.
