*Re-screens, confirms rejected Commissioner-nominees
From Joseph Uchenna, Makurdi
The Benue State House of Assembly, on Tuesday, suspended the immediate past Speaker Hon Hyacinth Aondona Dajoh for three months just a day after he resigned the position.
The House took the decision during its plenary presided over by the new speaker Alfred Emberga.
The House alleged that the former Speaker plotted to Impeach the Governor and slammed the suspension on him.
They accused Dajoh of summoning a meeting last Thursday which was attended by many members in a bid to Impeach the Governor, an act that would have caused big political crisis in the State.
Motion to suspend Dajoh was moved by Emmanuel Shimawua representing Vandeikya Kyan state Constituency and seconded by Abu Umoru James representing Apa constituency both of whom were recalled from suspension on Sunday.
During its sitting the house also, re-screened and confirmed two comimissioner-nominees including Prof. Timothy Yangien Ornguga and Mr. James Dwen that were earlier rejected by the former Speaker on the directive of the Governor.
It was learnt that Governor Alia had written to the House stating that no competence court has indicted the two of any wrong doing and as such, they should be considered for Commissioner positions.
The house also, recalled the State Universal Basic Education Board Chairman Mrs Grace Adagba alongside the Executive Chairman of Otukpo Local Government Area, Mr. Maxwell Ogiri and the State Lottery/Sporting Board Executive Secretary Mr. Michael Upper after they had written letters of apology to the house.
