Nuhu Abok remains Speaker – 12 Plateau Lawmakers refute impeachment claims

Plateau Lawmakers numbering 12 have come out to refute claims that due process was followed in the recent impeachment of the embattled speaker, Hon Nuhu Abok, in response to a statement by other Lawmakers loyal to Yakubu Sanda as the New Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly.

Sanda’s group on Thursday said due process was followed in the impeachment of the embattled Speaker, Ayuba Abok at a press conference in Jos addressed by the lawmaker representing Mikang State Constituency, Daniel Naalong.

However in a quick response the group loyal to Hon. Nuhu Abok made up of 12 lawmakers out of the 24members in the house has issued a statement today, Friday 12th November, 2021, stating that the Constitution – Section 92(2c) (c) if he is removed from office by a resolution of House of Assembly by the votes of not less than two-thirds majority of the members of the House

The statement laid further emphasis that “Votes of not less than two-third majority. Resolution for removal of presiding officers in Plateau State House of Assembly shall be by sixteen Honourable Members during plenary.

Standing Orders of Plateau House of Assembly, 2021- Order 7 Rule 14 (biii) – Where the resolution of the House is that the allegation be investigated, an ad-hoc Committee comprising Members of all the political parties represented in the House shall be constituted to investigate the allegation.

7 Rule 14 (biv) – The Committee so constituted, shall request the holder of the office under investigation to respond in writing and such response shall form part of the Report of the Committee.

Evidences:

1. Videos
2. Standing orders, 2021
3. CFRN, 1999 As altered
4. Fund Management Law
5. Relevant Votes and proceedings
6. Minutes of Funds Management Committee meeting
7. Hansard

The group of Lawmakers “said “We the undersigned wonder why Hon. Naanlong Daniel Gapyil struggles to explain due process for removal of presiding officers in State Houses of Assembly as enshrined in Section 92(2c) of the 1999 CFRN as altered. We want the general public to be aware that Hon. Naanlong Daniel Gapyil was privileged to undergo a series of intensive Legislative training on House Rules and procedures of Legislative Business who was the custodian of House Rules and Business because of his Former position as Rules, Business, Inter-Governmental and Inter-Parliamentary Committee.”

“Beloved Press Team and public, from this attached video, you can conduct simple investigation on the number of people that conducted the purported and botched impeachment of Rt. Hon. Abok Nuhu Ayuba on 28th October, 2021. This evidence-based video is enough to clarify the issue of numbers and procedures for removal of presiding officers. We still condemn this coup on the Plateau and Bad Legislative practice.”

“It could be recalled that Hon. Naanlong Daniel Gapyil moved a motion of vote of confidence on Rt. Hon. Abok Nuhu Ayuba in December, 2019 and July, 2021. We deemed it fit to let the general public know that if there were dictatorial tendencies, gross incompetence, financial mismanagement and other false allegations as raised by Mr. Naanlong Gapyil then he wouldn’t have moved these votes of confidence. We wish to also inform the public that it was Hon. Naanlong Gapyil that moved a motion for the House to go for one month recess from August to September, 2021 after passing a vote of confidence on Mr. Speaker in the plenary before the recess.”

“Let’s put the record straight that Plateau State House of Assembly Fund Management Law provided that the fund Management Committee sits quarterly, we still wonder why Hon. Naanlong and cohorts have not raised allegations on financial misappropriation for the past quarters that the Committee has met. We want to add that the Committee held it last meeting in August, 2021 and Hon. Naanlong Daniel Gapyil was in attendance as Member of the Committee. Note: The Fund Management Committee replaced the Finance and General Purpose Committee (F&GPC)”

We shall hold Hon. Naanlong Gapyil responsible to explain the issue of fake mace in PLHA in connection to their failed impeachment that took place 0600hrs on 28th October, 2021 with a borrowed mace from LGA. We are determined to protect PLHA.

We want to give the general public notice that there is a calculated attempt to vandalize PLHA by some paid hoodlums with the intention to use it as an excuse to provide another venue for plenary that cannot be accessibly by twelve of us. The illegal Speaker under the influence of Government has insisted to hold plenary today Thursday 12th November, 2021. We shall soon draw the attention of Federal Ministry of Finance and World Bank to know that due process is not being followed in the 2022 Plateau State Government Budget.

We want to appreciate the Leaders of democracy in Nigeria for condemning in totality the intended rape of democracy in Plateau State House of Assembly. We say kudos to Distinguished Senator Ahmed Lawal (Senate President), Distinguished Senator Bukola Saraki, Distinguished Senator Jonah David Jang, Distinguished Senator I. D. Gyang, Distinguished Senator Gabriel Suswan, Representative Beni Lar and Representative Musa Bagos. Bravo to Conference of Speakers of State Legislators, Lagos State House of Assembly, PIDAN, YIAGA Africa, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Religious Leaders, Traditional Leaders and Members of the public. Your labour to protect democracy will never go in vain.

The Lawmakers said “We still recognize Rt. Hon. Abok Nuhu Ayuba as our committed and dedicated Speaker. We appeal to the Inspector General of Police and Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command to restore Security Aide to Rt. Hon. Abok Nuhu Ayuba. We still appeal to AIG in charge of Zone 4 to unseal the House to enable us continue our Legislative Business under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Abok Nuhu Ayuba.”

Thank you and God bless us all.

PLHA SAGA: New Speaker, Sanda and 11 others holds plenary despite closure of House

The new Speaker of the Plateau state House Rt Hon Yakubu Sanda is currently presiding over plenary at the hallowed chamber of the state house of assembly.

Sanda was reported to have arrived at the state assembly complex alongside 11 members around 11 40am Friday morning and then proceeded to move into the chamber at exactly 12:12 pm.

Members present at the chambers are that of the All progressive Congress, as no single member from the Peoples Democratic Party was seen inside the plenary.

It could be recalled that the members had appealed to the Inspector General of Police( IGP )to unseal the house to enable members to continue their legislative function, in view of the numerous bills on ground that required legislative attention including the 2022 appropriation bill which was laid by the state Governor Simon Lalong recently.

Hon. Naanlong Daniel Majority leader, Plateau State House of Assembly ,who addressed newsmen in Jos on Thursday said “it became imperative that they address newsmen and put the records straight in-view of the aftermath of the change of leadership in the Plateau State House of Assembly.”

The lawmakers had before the commencement of the plenary accessed the damages carried out in the house.

Recall that the State Assembly complex has been shut down by security agents after a confrontation on November 1st 2021. The Inspector-General of Police redeployed the CP and dispatched Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG Mustapha Dandaura to handle the situation.

The AIG convened a meeting between the two factions. But the meeting ended in deadlock as each faction laid claim to the post of the Speaker. The embattled officers introduced themselves as the authentic speakers of the House.

Ikoyi building collapse: 45 bodies recovered

The Lagos State Government says two more bodies have been recovered from the collapsed 21-storey building in Ikoyi, Lagos; bringing to 45 the number of bodies retrieved so far.

The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, said this in a statement on Wednesday.

He said that operation at the site of the collapsed Ikoyi building had continued. Omotoso also said that vehicular movement around the site had been smooth, following the reopening of the road.

According to him, the identification of bodies of the victims of the incident has continued at the IDH, Yaba, Lagos Mainland.

‘‘So, far, 32 families have come forward to submit samples of DNA to identify bodies that they wish to claim. In cases where identification is clear and there are no arguments, the bodies will be released to the families.

‘‘A committee to supervise the identification and release of the bodies has begun work. It comprises senior officials of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Justice,” he said.

Further, Omotoso said that contrary to speculations, no directive had been given for the demolition of the two high-rise buildings standing at the site of the 21-storey collapsed building an Ikoyi.

He said that the Panel of Inquiry instituted to establish issues surrounding the collapse of the building had continued to sit; adding that an integrity test was yet to be conducted on the buildings. The commissioner said that it was, therefore, wrong to assert or speculate that the buildings would be demolished.

The high-rise block of luxury flats under construction on Gerrard Road, Ikoyi, had collapsed on November 1, 2021.

President Buhari launches wheat farming in Plateau

President Buhari launches wheat farming in plateau; optimistic of ending wheat import soon.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday 9th November 2021 flagged off the first ever rain fed commercial wheat cultivation in Nigeria at the Wheat Seed Multiplication Farm in Kwall, Bassa LGA of Plateau State with a charge to Nigerian farmers to embrace wheat farming and stop the import of the product which gulps over 2 billion dollars annually.

President Buhari who was represented by Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong at the launch noted that the Agricultural sector is one of the critical non-oil sectors which has made significant contributions to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) accounting for a 22.35 and 23.78 per cent contribution to the overall GDP in the first and second quarters of 2021 respectively.

He said a key focus of his administration has been the deployment of mechanisms to ensure that agriculture thrives in Nigeria to significantly grow the economy and achieve maximum welfare for the citizens by ensuring food and energy security.

Buhari said Nigeria is on the path to actualizing sustainability in the production of rice, maize, cassava, soybean, groundnut, oil palm, cocoa and very soon the breakthrough in wheat cultivation in Nigeria will be accomplished.

He however lamented that Nigeria still spends humongous amounts of money on wheat import which is not acceptable because the country has the capacity to meet domestic consumption demands and also export.

He said “It is important to stress that Nigeria currently spends over $2 billion on the importation of wheat annually, one of the key contributors to the Nation’s huge foreign import bill. This is because millers have had to resort to importing wheat to meet the huge demand for wheat by-products. Wheat cultivation, similar to rice has the capacity to thrive in Nigeria due to the tropical climatic conditions. Currently, wheat is cultivated in many Northern states particularly in the dry season due to the high heat tolerance of the seed utilized by farmers”.

The President expressed excitement for the flag-off of the 2021/2022 dry season wheat farming noting that wheat can also be grown in the wet season in Plateau State as research also shows that it can be cultivated in other Plateaus in the country, namely, Gembu Plateau, Taraba State and Obudu Plateau, Cross River State. He urged these states to take advantage of this opportunity and key into the initiative.

The President commended the Central Bank of Nigeria, for using the Anchor Borrowers Programme not just in the Agric value chain, but in almost all sectors of the economy as shown in the recent launch of some transformative initiatives like the 100 for 100 policy for production and productivity.

CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele represented by Deputy Governor Edward Lamtek Adamu said in order to change the situation and leverage domestic production to bridge the demand-supply gap in the country, the Central Bank of Nigeria decided to add wheat to the list of focal commodities to be supported under the Bank’s agricultural intervention programmes.

He said improved seeds varieties of high yielding varieties from Mexico with potential average yield per hectare of 5-7 metric tons as against a range of 0.8-1.8 metric tons yield per hectare of those varieties previously cultivated have been acquired for distribution to farmers.

He also assured that the two-pronged approach of seed multiplication and grains production which has been adopted is expected to sustain the propagation of seeds and guarantee availability of high-yielding seeds to farmers.

The CBN Governor said “the event heralds the commencement of the Brown Revolution Journey, which is the first major wet season wheat production in Nigeria with about 700 hectares put under cultivation in Kwall, Kassa, Jol, Kafi Abu and Sop in Jos, Plateau State. While the short-term implication of this is the addition of about 2,000 metric tons of seeds to our national seed stock, the country can now potentially add 750,000 metric tons of wheat to the nation’s output annually through rain-fed wheat cultivation in Plateau, Mambila Plateau and Obudu Plateau. The CBN will not rest on its oars as we continue to work with our partners, Lake Chad Research Institute (LCRI), to expand the frontiers of wheat production in Nigeria to areas like northern Oyo, Kogi and Kwara states”.

Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda said the people of Plateau State welcome the initiative and will do everything possible to sustain it for the benefit of youths, women and men who are in need of jobs and resources to meet the daily needs of life.

The Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Dr. Hosea Finangwai, Gbong Gwom Jos, Da Jacob Buba, President of Wheat Farmers Association, Salim Mohammed, and the DG Lake Chad Research Institute, all commended the initiative by the Federal Government and said the people need to own the process by ensuring that middlemen do not hikack the initiative for profit, leaving them to wallow in poverty.
