 The reinstated speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Ayuba Abok, has resumed this morning. He took over his old office previously occupied by Yakubu Sanda, following the Monday court order, which declared his impeachment of 28 October 2021 as illegal. Abok used the opportunity to preside over the plenary with nine members in attendance. The speaker, in company with some members of the PDP Kokus of the House, they are assembly complex which had an unusually high level of security presence. After making his way into the office and removing the belongings of the former speaker, it was time to address journalists. Judgement has been given to the judiciary for their stand to defend the democracy in this country. We appreciate them for their stand and their fairness. And we appreciate their security operators in Nigeria and in their state. And we appreciate you, the journalists, for following all the events. You can see we have fully taken over, we have resumed. With everyone settled, the House held its first sitting with nine members, consisting five from PDP, two APC, and two from the Labour Party. You see that the members of the APC, though not in our numbers, but we are just from a meeting and we resolve that we are going to obey the rule of law. And that is the reason why you are sitting here this morning. All the PDP members were ready for this sitting with the exception of three members. The minority leader is there in the holy land praying for us.
