The Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) legislative body removed its Speaker, Hon. Matthew Yare, on Monday. Yare, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was replaced by Alhaji Jankaro Ibrahim, also a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The change followed a brief dispute in the legislature.
The impeachment of Yare marks a shift in leadership within the AMAC legislative arm. Ibrahim, a member of the APC, was appointed as the new Speaker. The decision came after a short period of tension during a legislative session. Yare represented Nyanya ward in the council.
This development reflects the growing influence of the APC within local governance structures. The party has been gaining momentum in recent months, with several key positions being held by its members. The removal of a PDP representative from a prominent council role highlights the political realignments taking place in Nigeria’s local government. The situation underscores the ongoing competition between major political parties at the municipal level.
