The Benue State House of Assembly yesterday suspended the immediate past Speaker, Aondona Dajoh, for three months, over alleged attempt to impeach Governor Hyacinth Alia.
Dajoh’s suspension followed a motion moved by the lawmaker representing Kyan State Constituency, Terna Shimawua, and seconded by James Umoru from Apa State Constituency.
Shimawua, who moved the motion during plenary, was one of those suspended by Dajoh before his resignation as Speaker last week Friday.
The Speaker, Alfred Berger, who ruled on the motion, reviewed Dajoh’s suspension from six to three months, without the usual votes on such matter.
Meanwhile the Assembly yesterday made a u-turn and confirmed the nomination of Timothy Yangien Ornguga, as Commissioner.
It would be recalled that Ornguga, a law lecturer at the Benue State University, Makurdi, was earlier rejected by the then Speaker, Dajoh.
