Plateau State House of Assembly has declared the ex-speaker’s seat vacant.
Gatekeepers News reports that Plateau Assembly during Tuesday’s plenary declared the seat of the lawmaker representing Jos East constituency, Ayuba Abok vacant.
Abok is the immediate past speaker of the house.
Incumbent Speaker of the house, Yakubu Sanda, while declaring Abok’s seat vacant, said the decision was predicated upon a letter from the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), seeking for the declaration of the seat vacant.
Last week, Abok decamped from the APC and joined the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Sandra announced, “According to the sections of the law, Section 109(1), I therefore declare the seat of Rt. Hon. Abok vacant.”
