JUST IN: Nasarawa State House of Assembly Elects New Speaker and Deputy in Unanimous Decision

In a significant development, members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly have unanimously elected Danladi Jatau, representing Kokona West Constituency, as the new Speaker. The position of Deputy Speaker has been conferred upon Mohammed Oyanki, a member representing Doma North Constituency.

The newly elected Speaker, Danladi Jatau, is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while the Deputy Speaker, Mohammed Oyanki, belongs to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The collaboration between members of different political parties is seen as a strategic move to maintain peace within the assembly.

This development unfolds as the Nasarawa State House of Assembly undergoes a transition in leadership, and further details are expected to be provided shortly. The unanimous decision reflects the assembly’s commitment to stability and effective governance in the state.
