The Supreme Court declared Mato the winner of the March 28, 2015 general elections and the duly elected representative for Vandeikya/Konshisha Federal Constituency.
The House of Representatives on Thursday said it would swear in as the lawmaker representing Vandeikya/Konshisha Federal Constituency of Benue State upon resumption from its 6 weeks recess.
The Chairman House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Abdulrazak Namdas, made this known to newsmen in Abuja.
The delay in swearing her in had forced Mato and her supporters to accuse the House leadership of frustrating her attempts to occupy her seat and discharge her responsibilities as an elected lawmaker.
Namdas said: “By the time the House resumes from recess, Mato would have completed all the processes for her to be sworn-in as Hembe’s replacement.
“Our tenure hasn’t elapsed. We are going on a break and when she is through, we can still swear her in.
“The recess is a constitutional matter and when we return, we will continue our legislative business.”
Namdas said that the law provided for anyone coming to the House or holding any elective position to pass through election.
He said: “You can’t be sleeping in your house without going through a process and then you go and obtain a court order or ruling to achieve your ambition.”
