The ninth Plateau State House of Assembly has elected Hon. Abok Ayuba, a 33-year-old 500-level student of Law at the University of Jos, as its speaker.

Ayuba was elected on Monday at the Assembly’s inaugural sitting.

The newly-elected Speaker, who represents Jos East constituency, was unanimously elected by members without subjecting it through electoral process.

The election followed a nomination by the member representing Jos North-North constituency, Hon. Ibrahim Baba-Hassan, and was seconded by member representing Jos North-West constituency, Hon. Esther Simi Dusu.

Similarly, the Assembly re-elected the immediate past deputy, Hon. Salleh Yipmong, representing Dengi constituency as its Deputy Speaker.

In his acceptance speech, the newly-elected Speaker thanked his colleagues for the confidence reposed on him and promised not to fail them.

Ayuba assured fellow members that his leadership will not discriminate based on tribe, religious, gender or political affiliations.

“As speaker of this noble assembly, I promise to serve with the fear of God, trust and humility,” he stressed.

Not too young to loot.

All of you that quotes me should have a flashback of how you all praised Yahaya Bello of Kogi state. How has he improved the standard of living in the state as one of the youngest Governor in Nigeria? Other young men and women abounds in Nigerian politics with the hope of being youth and will make a better change we all crave for...and where is the result?

Nice development.Hope his coming will lead to vibrancy in the legislative duties of the state?

nice

Nice,the bill buhari signed is bearing good fruits.he's the 2nd youngest after oyo speaker

Not too young

We are gradually getting there! Congrats to the young man

I still believe....


The Nigeria of our dream could still happen. It is possible

I think we should start shaming any old baba that goes into politics. It’s the time of the youth! Our time is now and we must grab that power by force. These old people do not make up more than 10% of the population. But they use their expired thinking to mess up the country. OBJ and all his mates

Na wa ooo.... I'm older than this guy ooo.... Ordinary microphone I no be not to talk of speaker... God dey sha

Good development

Young people making exploits... Youths need to start participating ACTIVELY in politics so that The Revolution in our polity can come alive.

Youth is gradually taking over, good development

And what is the useless man still doing in government even shamelessly asking young people not to contest against him in 2019? Are you not ashame with such a man?

It's nice seeing the younger ones taking up leadership positions in the country. However, I don't see things changing. The mentality of materialism is so rampant among Nigerian youths. Many of these guys would wanna get thier own share too.

By the way, no be today youths dey dey government. At 33, Gowon was already leading Nigeria. What did Nigeria get from him?

Very soon.... it'll reach d federal level, then presidency.
