Abok Ayuba
Abok Ayuba is a Nigerian politician who was elected speaker of the 9th Plateau State House of Assembly in 2019.
Ayuba was a first-time member of the Assembly elected from Jos East Constituency on the platform of All Progressives Congress in 2019. He was a 500 level law student at the University of Jos when he was elected. His election as the speaker of the house at the age of 33 was hailed nationwide as the representative of the youth. Ayuba was nominated for the speakership election by Ibrahim Baba Hassan from Jos North and was seconded by a first-time member of the house, Esther Dusu representing Jos Norh-West. A ranking member of the assembly who had been in the house since 1999 was widely rumoured to emerge speaker but members of the house unanimously elected Ayuba waving all speakership electoral requirements to allow his emergence.
