The Benue State House of Assembly has extended the suspension of former Speaker Aondona Dajoh and ex-Majority Leader Saater Tiseer for another three months, pending the resolution of separate court cases they filed against the legislature or the withdrawal of those suits.
The decision was reached during Tuesday’s plenary, presided over by Speaker Berger Alfred, following a motion of urgent public importance moved by Majority Leader Thomas Dugeri and seconded by Deputy Chief Whip Simon Gabo.
The House resolved that the suspension would remain in force until the judicial process is concluded.
At the same sitting, the Benue State Sports Marketing, Gaming and Lotteries Bill, 2026 scaled through second reading and was referred to the Joint House Committees on Finance, Youth, and Sports for further scrutiny.
In his opening remarks for the Fourth Legislative Session, Speaker Alfred Emberga urged lawmakers to remain committed to their responsibilities, highlighting priorities such as security, economic resilience, infrastructure development, revenue generation, oversight of MDAs, and citizen participation.
He described the session as a defining phase in the Assembly’s tenure and called for sustained collaboration with other arms of government to deliver laws that reflect the aspirations of Benue people.
