Adamawa state governor, Murtala Nyako, has been impeached by the Adamawa State House of Assembly, while his deputy, James Ngilari voluntarily resigned before the house could impeach along with Nyako.
The House had, on June 18, 2014, preferred a 20-count charge of gross misconduct against Governor Nyako. Nineteen out of the 25 lawmakers endorsed the move, leading to the commencement of impeachment proceedings against the governor. With the repudiation of five of the charges, the governor is now facing 15 charges.
Foremost among the charges dropped by the House of Assembly is that the state government allegedly spent the sum of N120m to sponsor a visit of a former head of state, an APC chieftain, to commiserate with victims of insurgency attack in Madagali and Michika local government areas of the state.
It was gathered that the state is in top preparation for the swearing-in of the Speaker as the next executive governor of the state.
Yola is said to be calm and a bit anxiety following the development.
