The Benue State House of Assembly has recalled seven members who were suspended earlier in February.
This followed the reading of a joint letter by the suspended members, presented by the Majority Leader, Mr. Saater Tiseer, during plenary on Tuesday in Makurdi.
After reading the letter, Mr Tiseer moved a motion for their recall, noting they had met the House’s conditions by submitting a written apology.
He said the lawmakers showed remorse and promised to conduct themselves properly going forward.
In their contributions, Mr. Peter Ipusu (APC/Katsina-Ala West) and Mr. Elias Audu (APC/Gwer East) supported the motion, confirming the members pledged good conduct.
Ruling on the matter, Speaker, Mr Hyacinth Dajoh said the seven had fulfilled all conditions and would rejoin proceedings in the next sitting.
Others are: Mr Manger Manger (APC/Tarka), Mr Ezrah Nyiyongu (PDP/Ukum), Mr Jonathan Agbidye (APC/Katsina Ala East), Mr Samuel Agada (APC/Ogbadibo) and Mr Abraham Jabi (APC/Buruku).
While 13 members were initially suspended, six were previously reinstated in February. (NAN)
