The two factions in the current leadership tussle at the Nasarawa state house of Assembly have again failed to reach an agreement on who will become the 7th Speaker.

A meeting between the two factions of Daniel Ogazi and Ibrahim Balarabe which lasted for more than three hours at the Nasarawa State Government Lodge in Abuja ended in a deadlock.

The lawmakers left the venue disappointed even as the state governor Abdullahi Sule arrived the venue with the hope of a resolution.

The two factional speakers also declined speaking to newsmen who waited patiently for the outcome of the meeting.

Last week, the governor met with the twenty-four lawmakers In the state assembly and pleaded with them to resolve the leadership impasse and report back in two days a timeline that could not be met.

Following the Tussle between the two factional speakers of the state assembly, the inauguration of the 7th Nasarawa State Assembly was postponed.
