Nasarawa 7th Assembly: New Speaker Finally Emerge After Leadership tussle
The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has finally elected Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi as the 7th
Speaker.
Recall that Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa state announced the suspension of the planned inauguration of the 7th Nasarawa state assembly following what he attributed as insecurity at the state assembly complex.
Abdullahi represents the Umaisha/ Ugya constituency on the platform of the APC.
The assembly also elected Mr Abel Bala (PDP- Nasarawa Eggon West) as the Deputy Speaker of the 7th Assembly.
The Acting Clerk of the House, Ibrahim Musa, announced this during the inauguration of the members of the 7th Assembly on Friday in Lafia.
The clerk said the inauguration aligned with Governor Abdullahi Sule’s proclamation of the assembly.
Mr Mohammed Oyanki (PDP- Doma North) nominated Abdullahi for the position of Speaker, which was seconded by Larry Ven-Bawa (APC- Akwanga North).
Dr Peter Akwe (PDP- Obi I) nominated Bala for Deputy Speaker, which was seconded by Alhaji Suleiman Yakubu (APC- Awe South).
