The inauguration of the 7th Nasarawa State House of Assembly (NSHA) has been postponed till further notice.
This was disclosed in a statement on Tuesday, issued by the assembly's Acting Clerk, Ibrahim A. Musa, noting the exercise earlier scheduled for 10 am today was postponed based on security advice.
Musa who apologised to the members-elect and the general public for the inconvenience caused added that a rescheduled time would be communicated.
Meanwhile, majority of the Member-Elect arrived at the Assembly premises as early as 6 am amidst a plot to impose a Speaker using only six Members-Elect.
Reacting to the development, the Labour Party spokesperson, Jonathan Aku, stated that the postponement is Illegal and Suspicious.
He lamented that the move was aimed at imposing principal officers on the 7th Assembly.
The LP Spokesperson enjoined Governor Abdullahi Sule to stay clear and allow the Members-Elect to choose their leaders as enshrined in the Constitution.
Similarly, a group, APC Youth Frontiers has alleged that Governor Sule has resorted to intimidation and threats in order to impose his preferred choice as the Speaker of the 7th Assembly.
The group made this known in a statement issued by its leader, Comrade Isiaka Bala in Keffi on Tuesday, stating that the Governor has only 6 out of the 24 Members-Elect willing to do his bidding.
“As a pressure group who only wants democracy to thrive in our young promising state, we urge the governor to please use his good office to entrench the principle of law and order and not allow some power mongers around him to push him into acts that are parallel to his known principle of fairness and justice,” Isiaka added.
