Two different Speakers emerged in the seventh Nasarawa State House of Assembly on Tuesday.
Our correspondent reports that before the elections which produced both Speakers, a press statement was earlier issued by the acting Clerk of the House, Ibrahim Musa, indicating that the inauguration of the 24 members-elect and the election of a new Speaker of the Assembly had been postponed indefinitely.
Security operatives barricaded the entrance and prevented everyone, including 13 out of the 24 members-elect from gaining access to the assembly premises. The 13 members-elect are believed to be supporters of Hon. Daniel Ogazi, who is a member of the All Progressives Congress but collaborating with members-elect from the opposition political parties, while 11 members were loyal to Balarabe-Abdullahi, who is also a member of the APC in the state.All rights reserved.
