With the two (2) months recess declared by the Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly about running out within the next few days, the stage would soon be set for the formal swearing-in of the 15 Lawmakers-Elect under the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the floor of the House of Assembly.
The long-awaited reconfiguration of the House would see the APC having most of the House Members, with the sack of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Lawmakers from the House by the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, on the ground that they contested the 8th March 2023 election, as Independent Candidate, a status not known to the Nigerian Laws and Constitution.
You would recall that, REALITY had reported that the 15 APC Lawmakers-Elect have been issued their Certificate of Return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after tendering their Enrolled Orders as issued by the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division.
Facts are that with the development, there would soon be the emergence of a new Speaker and other Principal Officers of the Plateau State House of Assembly, as the incumbent Speaker who is on recess was elected by the sacked 16 Members of the House under the platform of the PDP and some few APC Members.
From the new reconfiguration of the members, the APC is expected to produce the Speaker and Majority Leader of the House soon.
