Screenshot of video impeached Plateau Speaker, Abok and other members supporting him begging Governor Lalong for reinstatement
By Anthony Maliki
Former impeached Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly Abok Nuhu Ayuba and some PDP legislators have been seen in a video on social media begging Governor Lalong and President Muhammadu Buhari to help return him to office after he was impeached last week.
In the 2:51 video believed to have been recorded when the impeached former Speaker Abok Nuhu and members of the opposition broke into the House under the cover of darkness in the early hours of Monday, 1st November 2021, an ally of the embattled former Speaker Philip Dasun was seen begging the Governor and the President to intervene and bring the former Speaker back.
He thanked Governor Lalong for being a hero of democracy who does not interfere in the business of the House.
They also claimed that that they were not in the chambers to fight anyone, but only appealing to Governor Lalong and President Buhari to restore the impeached Speaker.
Although the video was trending around 8am, their ploy to fool the public into believing that they came into the chambers during official sitting hours of the House backfired as they were thanking their supporters who were outside at 10 and 11am.
