Those who announced their resignation on Monday include the Deputy Speaker, Mohammed Buba Jidjiwa, representing Jada and Mbulo Constituency; Kefas Kalvin, representing Toungo Constituency; and Bulus Geoffrey, representing Leko and Koma Constituency.
Haruna Jilantikiri, representing Madagali Constituency; Kefas Emmanuel, representing Song Constituency, and Ahmed Jingi Bele representing Maiha Constituency are the other three.
