Nyako Impeachment: What Bola Tinubu Did To His "Disloyal" Deputies.

APC Governor Murtala Nyako was Impeached a day ago by PDP led members of Adamawa State House of Assembly. Many observers including the opposition APC has been pointing fingers to President Jonathan and the PDP for being the mastermind. However, let us go memory lane and analyse the "Deeds" of Former Lagos State Governor and APC leader Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu towards his estranged political subordinates- Specifically His Deputies.


1. AKERELE BUCKNOR KOFOWOROLA: She was a Senator and Was elected alongside Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 1999 on the AD platform. In 2002, she declared her Interest to vie the 2003 Lagos State Governor seat against her boss. Bola Tinubu was infuriated, he lobbied the Lagos State House to commence impeachement proceedings against her. Buknor resigned her position as Deputy Governor, she also left the party, Alliance for Democracy. That was the last we heard of her politically.

2. Mr. FEMI PEDRO was picked by Bola Tinubu in 2002 as Buknor's successor. Jointly, they won 2003 Lagos Governorship election. After the formation of Action Congress by majorly sponsored by Atiku Abubakar and Tinubu, Pedro Signified interest to succeed his boss like others in the 2007 Guber election. Then Governor Tinubu told all the contenders to support the Candidacy of his Chief of Staff, Babatunde Raji Fashola. Pedro was adamant, he defected to Labour Party. Next was IMPEACHMENT against Pedro by Lagos State House. Sensing that he couldn't survive the impeachment moves, he RESIGNED his position as Deputy Governor of Lagos State on the day he was to be IMPEACHED. However, Governor Tinubu refused to collect his Resignation Letter...Few Minutes later, the House IMPEACHED him for "Insubordination and Gross Misconduct".

Bola Tinubu OPENED the floodgate for Political Witch-hunt. He was the FIRST Governor Since Lagos History to Have 3 Deputies within a Span of 8 Years. Why is His Party complaining?
