Plateau Assembly: Crisis looms as sacked PDP lawmakers vow to resume plenary


Plateau State House of Assembly may be thrown into confusion on Tuesday as the 16 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who were sacked by the Court of Appeal have vowed to resume legislative duties on Tuesday. Addressing newsmen in Jos, Plateau State on Monday, the spokesman of the group, Hon Ishaku Maren, advised All Progressives Congress (APC) not to go near the House of Assembly because the Supreme Court by its pronouncement had invalidated the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which sacked them. According to him, as law-abiding citizens, they are ready to resume work to represent the people who duly elected them. “You might be aware that while we were on recess, there were two Judgments that were passed regarding the status of the state House of Assembly and Plateau State as a whole. “By that it shows that we are also referring to the same judgment that one cannot build something on nothing,” he said.
