Adamawa Assembly appoints deputy leader, other principal officers
The Adamawa House of Assembly has appointed Kate Raymond (PDP-Demsa constituency) as the deputy majority leader of the legislature.
The speaker of the house, Aminu Iya-Abbas (PDP), who announced the appointment at the plenary on Monday in Yola, said the position was on merit, considering her track record as a legislator.
He charged the lawmaker to redouble her efforts and channel her energy towards enacting laws that would benefit the people, especially her constituents who mandated her to represent them.
