“The seat of the immediate past Speaker of the
Plateau State House of Assembly, Hon Abok Ayuba,

Speaker of the House, RT. Hon Yakubu Sanda, who
presided over plenary said the decision of the House
followed a letter from the Plateau State chapter of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), urging the Speaker
to declare Abok’s seat vacant following his defection
from the APC to the PDP contrary to Section 109 (1)
of the Nigerian Constitution.
Recall that the former Speaker had last weekend
dumped the ruling APC for the PDP.

Abok, who represents Jos East Constituency, had been
having a frosty relationship with the ruling APC in the
state since he was purportedly impeached five months
ago by eight members of the House.
Meantime, the House has also declared the seat of
the immediate past member representing Irigwe/
Rukuba State Constituency Hon. Musa Agah vacant.
Agah last month won the Jos North/Bassa Federal
Constituency bye-election, which left the seat vacant.
