Members of the Plateau State House of Assembly, on Tuesday, held their plenary after two months closure of the Assembly complex by the police.
The resumption of the Assembly members came barely 24 hours after Caleb Mutfwang succeeded Simon Lalong as the new governor of the state.The lawmaker representing Riyom State Constituency, Timothy Dantong, confirmed the development to The PUNCH in Jos on Tuesday.
“The police did not stop us from conducting our plenary. About 19 lawmakers attended the plenary with Speaker Abok Ayuba presiding. Only Yakubu Sanda and a few others did not attend.“We deliberated on the recent attacks in Mangu LGA and also passed a motion directing the security agents in the state to enforce the directive of the court restoring the Chairman of Langtang North LGA, Joshua Ubandoma back to his position.
The police said it sealed the Assembly complex to forestall a breakdown of law and order in the wake of the leadership crisis rocking the Assembly.
