The Nasarawa State House of Assembly witnesses a change in leadership, with Danladi Jatau securing the esteemed position of Speaker and Mohammed Oyanki assuming the role of Deputy Speaker.
This dynamic shift comes in the aftermath of the recent removal of Ibrahim Abdullahi from the Speaker’s position, a decision upheld by the Appeal Court in Abuja on Tuesday.
Amidst the echoes of change, members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly came together on Friday to democratically elect Danladi Jatau as their new Speaker.
Representing Kokona West Constituency and a stalwart member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jatau’s ascendancy signifies a fresh chapter for the assembly.
The role of Deputy Speaker finds its deserving occupant in Mohammed Oyanki, representing Doma North Constituency.
Notably, Oyanki’s collaboration with Speaker Jatau, despite political affiliations, reflects a strategic move towards maintaining peace and unity within the assembly.
The reshuffling of leadership stems from the decisive action taken at the Appeal Court in Abuja, resulting in the removal of Ibrahim Abdullahi from the Speaker’s position.
Speaker Jatau’s affiliation with the APC and Deputy Speaker Oyanki’s alignment with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) symbolize a bipartisan approach.
