A new speaker and deputy speaker have emerged in Kaduna State House of Assembly Less than an hour after Shagali resigned as speaker of the house.

Following the resignation, Hon. Yusuf Ibrahim Zailani was appointed the speaker of the house.

Hon. Zailani, who represents Igabi West Constituency in the Assembly, was the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly until his election to lead the House on Tuesday.

Zailani is a strong member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Also, Hon Mukhatar Isa Hazo, representing Bassawa Constituency has been elected as the new Deputy Speaker.

Both of them have been sworn-in by the Clark of the Assembly.

The former Speaker, who represents Sabon-Gari Constituency in the Assembly, officially submitted his resignation letter to the clerk of the House, on Tuesday morning.

It was gathered that members of the House had started collecting signatures to impeach the former speaker before he eventually bowed to pressure and resigned.

Chairman, House Committee on information, Honourable Tanimu Musa confirmed he submitted his resignation letter.

However, Shagali’s offence warranting the alleged impeachment was yet to be unraveled as the time of filing this report.
