Eleven out of thirty-one elected
lawmakers of the 9th Bauchi state house of assembly have reportedly picked a
new speaker.
According to PUNCH, the lawmakers
elected Abubakar Suleiman, lawmaker representing Ningi Central Constituency
(APC), as speaker, on Thursday.
Danlami Kawule, assembly member
representing Zungur/Galambi, was also elected as deputy speaker.
This is coming barely a few days
after nine Edo house of assembly lawmakers got inaugurated “secretly”.
They were sworn in on Monday
night, shortly after 15 others protested the delay in inaugurating the
assembly, blaming it on an attempt by Godwin Obaseki, the governor, to impose
his loyalists as presiding officers.
For a 31-member assembly, it is
expected that a majority of members should be present for a quorum.
A quorum is the minimum number of
members of a deliberative assembly necessary to conduct the business of that
group.
