Meanwhile, the APC in the state said it would only recognise Abdullahi. The publicity secretary, Otaru Douglas, told our correspondent
in an interview that the party decided to support him because he had been able to establish a good working relationship between the legislature and executive.
Ayiwulu stated, “The law that we have to obey is the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the provisions of sections 92, 94, and 98 thereof. It has laid down the principle to address this situation at hand. The provisions are clear and unambiguous. They derive their strength from section 1 of the constitution which states that anything done outside the provisions of the constitution to that extent is illegal.
He said the number of members-elect who voted was a separate matter, in addition to where the election was held. Another legal practitioner in the state, Innocent Lagi, faulted the governor for having a preferred candidate for the speakership position, saying the governor was responsible for the crisis in the Assembly.
“I think it is not a responsible act for Governor Abdullahi Sule to allow such things to happen under his watch. You should not destroy the arms of government because of your desires to achieve a particular objective.”

He said the air strike was carried out after series of intel and surveillance, adding that innocent civilians were not killed as being speculated in some quarters. He faulted the report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) alleging that the NAF bombarded herders who were evacuating their cattle in Kwatiri, a border community between Benue and Nasarawa. In its report on June 7, HRW said “Nigerian authorities have provided little information and no justice” with regard to the airstrike. “Although the authorities admitted carrying out the raid, the organisation said, they evaded “key questions” concerning the circumstances surrounding the attack. …
