Nasarawa Impeachment: Al- Makura Rushes To Abuja To Meet Jonathan by Monimatic(m): 10:36am On Jul 16, 2014 |
Following the impeachment notice served on the Nasarawa State governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura by the state Assembly, the embattled state chief executive hurriedly left Lafia, the state capital yesterday for Abuja in an effort to prevail on President Goodluck Jonathan to intervene in the matter. LEADERSHIP reports that, Al-Makura before leaving the state capital at about 4p.m. had held series of meetings with his aides and party officials intent upon seeing how the impeachment impasse can be surmounted. Addressing the press at Shendam Road Assembly complex however, the clerk of the Assembly, Mr. Ego Maikeffi, disclosed that after several attempts to serve the impeachment notice on the governor, he was denied access into the Government House. Ego stated further that in line with the directive of the Speaker, he is set to serve the notice through the media today. The House Committee chairman on information and security, Hon. Mohammed Baba Ibaku, confirmed the development saying other options of serving the notice would be explored. In a swift reaction however, the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Public Affairs, Hon. Abdulhamid Kwarra, denied the report insisting that the Assembly was yet to serve the notice as a 6pm yesterday. Speaking on the unfolding scenario, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mr. Mark Neto said the state Assembly would be doing a disservice to the state if they had a catalogue of such gross misconduct and refused to take action. Mr. Neto who noted that the PDP hierarchy in the state would have preferred the party to slug it out with Al-Makura at the poll but regretted however that “posterity would not be fair to the members if they gloss over such grievous misconduct”. He denied that the PDP embarked upon impeachment because it was afraid to face Al-Makura at the polls. The immediate past state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Stanley Buba, on his part called on Governor Al-Makura to address the allegations levelled against him promptly, saying that the Assembly was only discharging its constitutional duty. LEADERSHIP reports that before Al- Makura left for Abuja, notable traditional rulers in the state had converged at the guest house of the Emir of Lafia, Alhaji Isa Mustapha Agwai l, with a view to seeking their intervention on the matter. Informed sources also disclosed that a high-powered delegation of traditional rulers and other respected stakeholders in the state were expected to join Al-Makura in Abuja today so as to solicit President Jonathan’s intervention. http://www.leadership.ng/news/377966/nasarawa-impeachment-al-makura-rushes-abuja-meet-jonathan |

All these governors with their arrogant NGF (Nigerian Governors Forum) that didn't allow Johnny Boy any peace. You have to admire the way he split that useless gathering. They're now running around nakid and scared. Our advice to Johnny Boy is still the same, " take no prisoners and give no quarter" until the last of the supporter of APC declares, GEJ until 2019. 9 Likes |

Monimatic: Following the impeachment notice So we have such people in APC Now those accusing Jonathan should please defend the governor further. Nyako was asked to face the panel, he refused to show up, he was interviews be neither deny nor agree to the allegation, instead he kept saying when he needs presidents help he will call for help. Now nassarawa refusing to address the allegation, some of the things oshiomole is been accused he is not denying it, so WTF is APC and their supporters problem? If you ajibole governors can't remove their hands from state funds, then you have no reason to shout when they are thrown out of office, they should commence impeachment on all corrupt governors. Nonsense 4 Likes |

Say remind me again why you want Al-Makura impeached ? Gross Misconduct and Misappropriation of funds huh? I wonder what funds they're talking about, is it the ones the previous PDP governors racked up in debt. Then the misconduct crap, you know i wonder who we could accuse of gross misconduct here , is it the State assembly that has absolutely done nothing but threaten the Governor for the past 3 years and made it extremely difficult for him to get basic funds for projects or a Governor that's been at the receiving end of their crap. But as long as Nassarawa folks are happy about PDP trying to take control back of their state from someone they voted for to get rid of them just because some Eggon people started their own syndrome of 'we must have a governor from our tribe' then great for them i guess. By the way can any of you dolts that actually want this man impeached , even though you probably don't know the first thing about Nassarawa actually reply any of my points here or you just prefer your usual halfwit counterparts that can do nothing but start petty exchange of insults with you |

As a governor, Al - makura has really worked, but for bloodshed and insecurity, his government must fall, never to rise again. By the way, where were these lawmakers before? |
