Former Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has reportedly resigned as the Minister of Labour and Employment in the cabinet of President Bola Tinubu.
VOP News gathered that the President has accepted his resignation letter, and Lalong is set to go to the National Assembly as the Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District.
Furthermore, Lalong is set to be sworn in this week by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The former Governor reportedly tendered his resignation after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC)
meeting as he prepares to join his colleagues in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
The spokesman for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State, Sylvanus Namang, also confirmed Lalong’s resignation from the FEC in preparation for resumption at the Red Chamber of the National Assembly.
