Kaduna State House of Assembly has on Wednesday 11th June, 2020 impeached the deputy speaker Alhaji Mukhtar Isa Hazo and elected new deputy speaker Hon. Isaac Auta, representing Kauru Constituency.
The emerging of the new Deputy Speaker came shortly after 24 members of the Assembly passed vote of no confidence on the former Deputy Speaker, Hon. Mukhtar Isa Hazo and impeached him.
Auta's election and swearing in was followed with a rowdy session, as a member attempted to steal the maze.
Hon. Auta was immediately sworn in by the Clerk of the Assembly, who administered oaths of office and allegiance on him.
The reasons behind the impeachments of the Deputy Speaker are still unknown.
Meanwhile, shortly after the swearing in, member representing Makera Constituency, Hon. Liman Dahiru broke into the floor of the Assembly and seized the maze.
However, before he could make his way out of the chamber, he was grabbed by the Sergeant at Arm, while other members quickly rushed in to retrieve the maze from him.
The plenary thereafter ended in a rowdy session, while the aggrieved member, Dahiru Liman was dragged out of the chamber.
Liman who had his dress torn, was later seen outside the assembly chamber displaying anger over the the impeachment of Hon. Hazo.
