He has since then not been sighted in any activities of the House at its temporary sitting venue. \u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Plateau State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the news of the defection of the impeached speaker of the state House of Assembly, Abok Nuhu Ayuba, from the APC to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
