Trouble is said to be brewing in
Adamawa State House of Assembly
over the alleged disbursement of
N250 million to facilitate the
impeachment of Governor Murtala
Nyako. The money, it was alleged, was to be
shared to the 25 members to ginger
them to impeach the governor, who,
recently, accused President Goodluck
Jonathan of committing genocide
against the North in the name of fighting terrorism. Each member of the House was to
receive N10 million of the money said
to have been given to a member of
the Adamawa House of Assembly by a
popular governor in the country. The officer, who collected the money,
allegedly shortchanged the
lawmakers by paying them N8 million
each and pocketing the balance.
Besides, the plot to oust Nyako was
said to have suffered a setback when four of the members rejected the
largesse, insisting that they could not
work against the governor, who
brought them into limelight. Apart
from the four members, who rejected
the alleged bribe, six others, who allegedly collected, have reportedly
sworn not to jump on the bandwagon
to remove Nyako, leaving the
impeachment protagonists in a
dilemma. Sunday Vanguard gathered that the
rejection of the money by the four and
refusal of the six others to be part of
the plot to remove Nyako is causing
unease in the PDP in Adamawa State.
A source told Sunday Vanguard that to be able to remove Nyako, the
lawmakers needed 17 members to
make up the two thirds majority
required by law. The move to oust the governor
intensified last week when the
Speaker of the House threatened to
declare vacant the seat of any
member, who refuses to join the PDP.
Under the circumstance, four members who were in the opposition APC
immediately switched their
membership to the PDP, making the
entire membership of the house to
belong to the party. It will be recalled that before Nyako
defected to the APC last December, his
former party, the PDP, had 21
members with the former ACN, having
three and the defunct CPC, with one
member. It was learnt that six candidates, including the deputy
governor of the state, Bala James
Ngillari, had already positioned
themselves as potential successors to
Nyako.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/05/gov-nyakos-impeachment-move-n250m-donation-splits-adamawa-house-assembly/

Kai, this post can lie o

Make I book land. By tomorrow, price go don multiply :-D

Is this story for real ?.....let the game continue.

Most Nigerians have failed to realise that it isnt the executive that has actually failed us, the legislature has failed us more. They are sorely responsible for checkmatine the executive and have failed in doing so.

A situation whereby members have to be bribed to perform their constitutional responsibilities shows that this country has totally lost its trajectory.

We can only hope!
