LAFIA— There were pockets of
demonstrations in some parts of Nasarawa
State yesterday, following the notice of
impeachment served on Governor Umaru
Al Makura, Monday, by the state House
Assembly.
Some youths demonstrated at the Orange
Market at Mararaba, Keffi, Akwanga and
other parts of Lafia yesterday, protesting
what they described as alleged attempt by
members of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
to remove Al Makura from office for selfish
reasons.
Vanguard gathered that some of the
protesters, who chanted war songs, were
shouting ‘Don’t sack Al Makura,’‘Bring back
Al-makura,’ among other unprintable things
against the perceived sponsors of the
impeachment move.
However, some political stakeholders
described the crowd of protesters as
rented.
Some leaders who spoke on the condition
of anonymity said: “They are known
political thugs who are being used by
political contractors. It is all noise.
“The governor has not even received the
letter of impeachment and they are calling
for his reinstatement.”
Meanwhile, hundreds of anti riot policemen
and other security operatives have been
deployed to strategic positions to maintain
peace in the state.
Police spokesperson in the state, ASP
Numan Ismaila confirmed that the protests
had been brought under control by
security agents who were patrolling the
state.
Meanwhile, Governor Al-Makura has
travelled to Abuja in a bid to seek President
Goodluck Jonathan’s inter-vention over his
impeachment saga, just as members of the
state House of Assembly had vowed to
pursue the impeachment process to its
logical conclusion.

It baffles me why these Governors
that have failed their people will
always run to GEJ for protection when their state houses of
assembly is after them. Does GEJ
have power over the various state
houses of assemblies? Even
Governors of opposition parties!
Little wonder APC is blaming GEJ for
its woes. Do the right thing and go
to sleep satisfied and stop running
to someone you all the while have
abused his person and brought his
office to ridicule. Have some form
of decorum in yourself. As for GEJ,
don't listen to them. Let them stew
in their own oil

........... A supporter of APC PROTEST...........

Organised against the wishes of the people, impeachment galore awaits all traitors of good governance.

APC is a Scam, the more U look the less U see.
Only sycophants supports APC!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY:
GOOdLUCK EBELE JONATHAN till 2019.

PDP till Buhari becomes a pastor.

South South/ South East for the next 12 yrs!!!

If due process is followed and the governor is found wanting, then the SHA should do that which is constitutional. But I do av this feeling that some govs are bn witch-hunted ahead of 2015.
