The members accused the Governor of divide and rule in the house by given 5million naira each to 7 members of the House including the Speaker monthly.
The members plan to collect signatures of their colleagues.Suprisingly some of the Governor’s close associates in the house know of the meeting but asked to be excused but pledge to sign when others do.
However,it’s not clear whether members of the House can go ahead with their threat in view of the fact that the Governor tied all them to a bank loan since assumption to office.
For now Governor elrufai is still out of the country and his whereabouts remain unknown.
His deputy Bala Bantex has remained in charge of the state even as most of the project embarked by the Governor has been grounded.
