Against the backdrop of rumour plot to impeach Governor Simon Lalong   , the Speaker Plateau  State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Abok Ayuba  has  dismissed the unfounded rumour, noting that there is no plot to impeach the governor .

Speaking with some newsmen in Jos on Wednesday , the Speaker  said  as the people's representatives   we as a house became worried about  the frequent killings and mowing of crops   in the state and had to call on the state Government and Federal Government to act .

"Governor Lalong is  a Plateau man who we have so much respect for ,the house of assembly has never contemplated impeaching him ."

Abok further said that "Lalong  is the Governor of Plateau state and the people of the state voted massively for him for two terms , we in the Plateau state house of assembly would work and support him to complete his tenure ."

It would be recalled that the rumoured impeachment spread like wildfire last week in the state capital, Jos .

Abok added that Lalong who is a listening governor has started acting on the ultimatum the house of assembly gave him , "as you can see ,our Governor Simon Lalong has visited troubled spots in the state , he has visited Yelwa Zangan where some persons were killed recently" .

The Governor has also addressed citizens of the state as well  as  match words with action as the State Deputy Governor, Professor Sonni  Tyoden on Monday lead a high powered government delegation to deliver relief materials to survivors of the attacks.

“As an assembly with people at heart, we call on Plateau citizens to have confidence in us with renewed commitment ,but they should also know that we are  never against Lalong ,or planning to impeach him ."

"We are always willing to partner with the Executive to ensure lasting peace is restored to Plateau ." he added .

He appealed to citizens of Plateau  to be their brothers keeper at all times .
