MR 'SPEAKER', DON'T LIVE IN A FOOL'S PARADISE

The so called Speaker of the  Plateau State House of Assembly is credited to have astonishingly stated that he will not swear-in the legitimate  members of the house, until the end of next month, when the House might have resumed from its abrupt recess on the 23/1/24.

This outburst is expected, moreso when he is just like a robot, acting a script poorly crafted by his master, who temporarily is residing in Government House Little Rayfield.

Right from the time the moribund  House  members suddenly took to their heels in the wake of Court of the Appeal judgements, it was evident that the outgoing government was up to something sinister.

To justify the suspicion, the House of Assembly service Commission without recourse to extant laws, unceremoniously got rid of the clerk and went ahead to  nepotistically foist a new one from the governor's kinsmen.

Now that the one man riot gang in the House, to the exclusion of the majority, has come out to arrogantly  make such an incendiary remark, there is every reason to believe that great danger lies ahead in the execution of the Court of Appeal judgements, as far as the House of Assembly elections petitions are concerned.

With this posture and the illusion that, he alone constitutes the leadership of the House at the moment, the peace and well being of Plateau State does not matter to him, so long as his master's personal interest is not affected.

From all indications, the PDP is determined through a stooge to as usual, disrespect the Court judgements and the rule of law in its quest to hold on to power, even at the expense of peace and tranquility of the State.

The PDP and indeed the so-called Speaker who has been in the minority of the minorities, ought to know that he cannot whimsically hold Plateau State to ransome when as things stand now, APC is in the majority.

Take it or leave it, even as it is, the APC holds the ace and therefore cannot be stampeded by a one man gang, that is out to undermine and subvert democratic norms in the State.

Undoubtedly, the outburst by the Speaker, is not only   self-serving but poses a serious security threat which needs to be appropriately addressed by the security agencies.

The Speaker as young as he is, should not allow himself to be used as a willing tool towards achieving some subterranean motives, which are capable of throwing Plateau State into chaos, and also have at the back of his mind, that he has a name and future to protect.
