15 PDP Lawmakers Flee Benue As APC Member Emerges Speaker by zik4ever: 10:51am On Jun 06, 2015 |
No fewer than fifteen members of the Benue State House of Assembly elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a member from the Labour Party have fled Makurdi, the state capital over alleged threat to their life. The lawmakers claimed they fled Markurdi over threat to their life and monetary inducement by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led State Government. According to the legislators, they left Makurdi on Tuesday, after the 7th assembly was dissolved without inaugurating the 8th assembly. In separate interviews with newsmen, the lawmakers said they had been offered money and car gifts to allow the APC with 14 members take leadership of the House. They also lamented that their refusal to accept the offer put them at cross purpose with the APC government which began to threaten their lives, forcing them to run to safety. Meanwhile, DAILY POST has gathered that Hon Terkimbi Kyange has emerged as the speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly. He is a member of the APC. http://dailypost.ng/2015/06/05/15-pdp-lawmakers-flee-benue-as-apc-member-emerges-speaker/ 3 Likes 4 Shares |

what I want to know is how many of those running will be part of the 8th assembly? if APC is the ruling party, they may not want the number 3 citizen to be an opposition. hence speaker should come from APC bribery and threat to life hmmmm 9 Likes 1 Share |

It is a shame and pathetic that impunity and no respect for rule of law and insecurity that APC has been back biting the PDP led govt for 16years is what APC is doing now that the people has put them into Power. When would Nigeria grow up from politics of bitterness and greed. APC was saying 16 can never be greater than 19 nor 6 can not be greater than 25 but now they are saying 14 is greater than 15 or 16. Shame to Nigerian Politicians. Mtcheeeeeeeeew! politics in Nigeria stinks. 24 Likes 1 Share |

How can an APC that has only 14 mebers produce speaker for PDP that has 15 lawmakers. How can Police probe Rivers and Akwa ibom election while they turn a blind eye to Oyo, Lagos, Imo and Kano. How can APC probe Mike okiro while Hafiz Ringim who is a known BH sympathizer walks free How can APC probe Diezani while Sylva and Amaechi are savouring air of freedom How can APC be in power and BH is waxing stronger daily May God help us from this monster 42 Likes 10 Shares |

A good teacher is a symbol of discipline,
a constant reminder of what others want to be.
It's when you discipline yourself effectively,
that the attempt to discipline others becomes easy,
you are their template, they just copy and paste easily.
