Tragedy has struck the family of Hon. Aondona Dajoh, the immediate past Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, as his elder brother, Elder Gwamile Dajoh, suddenly collapsed and died on Sunday.
The unfortunate incident occurred just hours after Hon. Aondona Dajoh tendered his resignation as Speaker of the Assembly, in what appears to be a devastating coincidence for the family.
According to sources close to the family, Elder Gwamile had been deeply concerned about the ongoing political crisis in the Benue State House of Assembly prior to his sudden passing. The exact circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear as details are still emerging.
The political landscape in Benue State has been turbulent in recent days, with Hon. Aondona Dajoh's resignation paving the way for the election of Hon. Alfred Berger as the new Speaker during an emergency plenary session held on the same day.
Following the resignation, Hon. Alfred Emberga was sworn in as the new Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, marking a significant shift in the state's legislative leadership.
The political developments in Benue have been closely watched, with earlier reports suggesting potential impeachment attempts against the Speaker, though these were denied by the Deputy Governor, Sam Ode, who refuted claims of his involvement in any such plots.
Governor Hyacinth Alia had also previously denied any involvement in attempts to impeach the Assembly Speaker, highlighting the complex political dynamics at play in the state.
As the Dajoh family comes to terms with this sudden loss, the political repercussions of the recent leadership changes in the Benue State House of Assembly continue to unfold.
