Recall that the Plateau State House of Assembly became divided into two factions, with one faction being loyal to the current Speaker, Rt. Hon Yakubu Sanda, while the other faction is loyal to the reinstated Speaker, Ayuba who was impeached in October 2021. Ayuba further sought a declaration that his removal as speaker by the votes of less than two-thirds majority or 16 members of the Plateau State House of Assembly was in violation of the provisions of Section 92 and Order 7, Rule 14 of the Plateau State House of Assembly Rules 2021 and therefore unconstitutional, null, void and of no effect.
