The political landscape in Benue State is heating up as the immediate past Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Aondona Dajoh, faces fresh challenges. According to a recent post by Asom D Jerry on social media, the State Government has barred traditional rulers from hosting Dajoh for a meeting, adding another layer of complexity to his recent resignation.
Asom D Jerry writes, “There’s yet, more trouble for the immediate past Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Aondona Dajoh as the State Government bars traditional rulers from hosting him to a meeting.” This statement suggests a significant move by the state authorities to limit Dajoh’s interactions following his exit from office.
The post highlights an incident involving a traditional ruler in Jembgbagh axis, where Dajoh was expected to brief the Jembgbagh Traditional Rulers today in Gboko. However, plans were thwarted when the government intervened. “Sources close a traditional ruler in Jembgbagh axis said the former Speaker was expected to brief the Jembgbagh Traditional Rulers today in Gboko while he resigned from his exalted office,” the poster notes, indicating the timing of this development aligns with Dajoh’s resignation.
Further details reveal the involvement of high-ranking officials. Asom D Jerry adds, “It is gathered that when the news filtered out, Special Adviser to the Governor on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Aondokaa immediately send words to Chief Ter Gboko, His Royal Highness, Gabriel Shosum not to receive the former Speaker in audience for any form of meeting.” This swift action by the Special Adviser underscores the government’s firm stance against Dajoh’s engagements.
Despite this, there are signs of resilience from Dajoh’s camp. The post continues, “It was however gathered that those close to the former Speaker have resolved to meet with Mbatia Development Association to brief his constituents on the circumstances of his resignation as Speaker of the 10th Assembly.” This suggests that Dajoh and his supporters are seeking alternative avenues to communicate with the public.
As of now, the full implications of these events remain unclear. Asom D Jerry concludes with a call for updates, “Stay tuned for more details!!” Benue Today refrains from verifying these claims at this stage and will await further official statements.
We will continue to monitor this developing story and provide updates as more information becomes available. For now, the words of Asom D Jerry serve as our primary lens into this unfolding drama in Benue State.
