Benue Assembly Suspends Ex-Speaker Amid Political Turmoil
The Benue State Assembly has suspended the former speaker, Alfred Emberga, following his resignation. The decision, made during a plenary session, reflects the deepening divide within the ruling APC party in the state.
Allegations of a plot to impeach Governor Hyacinth Alia, aligned with the SGF George Akume Dajoh faction, led to Emberga's suspension. The Assembly also reversed key decisions made by the previous leadership, reinstating two members and recalling others.
The political turmoil within the Assembly has intensified, with recent suspensions and reinstatements causing further unrest among lawmakers aligned with different factions.
