President Tinubu’s intervention canvassed in Plateau House of Assembly’s refusal to inaugurate APC electees

The 16 elected All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers in Plateau State have called for the immediate intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the refusal of the House of Assembly leadership to inaugurate them. The lawmakers who said they were losing patience with the Assembly leadership appealed after meeting behind closed doors with the Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC in Abuja yesterday. They told the NWC that their constituents were putting pressure on them to assume duty as their representatives in the House. The elected lawmakers also called on the United Nations, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and all lovers of democracy   to bring pressure to bear on all the institutions of governance to “compel the recalcitrant and Speaker to promptly convene the State House of Assembly that has been on recess for about five months and inaugurate them.” Their Leader, Maiyaki Bala, told reporters after the meeting that President Tinubu’s intervention would prevent a breakdown of law and order in the state.
