BREAKING: Benue Assembly stands down screening of commissioner nominees

The Benue State House of Assembly has stand down the screening of commissioner nominees sent to the House by Governor Hyacinth Alia for confirmation as commissioners in the state executive council.
The House took the decision on Friday during an emergency sitting, presided by the Speaker Rt. Hon. Hyacinth Aondona Dajoh.
The decision of the House followed a motion of urgent public importance moved by Hon. Shimapever Jiji, informing the House that the Governor has refused to honour any resolution of the house and has treated members with total disregard.
Seconding the motion Hon. Pharm. Thomas Dugeri said the Governor has not addressed pressing concerns previously raised by the Assembly, saying he has no respect for the hallowed chamber.
Members who contributed said the decision was not aimed at stalling governance but to compel the executive arm to respect legislative independence and fulfil prior commitments.
They stated that they are not against the screening of commissioners, but the governor must first honour agreements and respect the resolutions of the House.
The house demanded that the Governor should immediately issue official vehicles to the affected distinguished members, give effect to the suspension notices issued to the SUBEB Chairman and Otukpo Local Government Council Chairman and Executive Secretary, Benue State Sports Lottery and Marketing Board.
Until the executive Governor complies with the demands, the house resolved not to honour or entertain any other correspondence from the executive arm of government.
