Former Lagos State governor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday said the federal government is planning to try former governor of Adamawa State Murtala Nyako, after forcefully removing him, on a treasonable felony that might see Nyako being imprisoned for life.The Presidency and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he said, were behind the impeachment of Nyako. In a statement made available to journalists in Lagos, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said President Goodluck Jonathan’s ambition of gluing himself to power could destroy the nation’s democracy. Tinubu said the government harassed the governor through the media, noting: “This kangaroo impeachment is government’s way of punishing Nyako. The plan is to use the content of the letter he wrote to the northern governors as a basis to try him for treasonable felony and eventually sentence him to life imprisonment.“Nyako’s frank, if rough-edged, letters concerning the security situation apparently infuriated the monarch of Aso Villa who has become so arrogant as to believe no opposition against him is justified; thus he has the liberty to impose his brand of injustice to crush those who oppose him. Before our eyes and under Jonathan’s watch, Nigeria is gradually descending to fascism. We must all act now before it consumes us all,” he said.He pointed out that Nyako’s impeachment is an aberration of Nigeria’s constitution and a setback to the nation’s democracy: “Under the constitution, a governor can only be impeached for ‘gross misconduct’. For the PDP, Nyako’s crime was not the false allegations contained in the articles of impeachment.“Perhaps, Governor Nyako’s greatest sin is his temerity to speak truth to power albeit in a courageous way. On two different occasions, he gave an unvarnished insight into the Boko Haram menaceand the insecurity engulfing northern Nigeria.“At the Institute of Peace in Washington, DC, this year, when he visited with other northern governors, he placed the blame for the Boko Haran insurgency on the Jonathan presidency.“He then followed this up with a detailed letter to the forum of the Northern governors in which he accused the Jonathan-led government of genocide against the north. This rattled and unsettled the government.“In impeaching Governor Nyako, the PDP used the constitution to abuse the constitution and the democracy it is supposed to enshrine. Governor Nyako’s impeachment must be seen completely as a political move to punish him and deter others from leaving the PDP.”He argued that, if there were really cases of misconduct, the House of Assembly wouldn’t have waited till he left the PDP.“Upon leaving the PDP, his actions suddenly became the meat for impeachment. There is only one thing new which was not then present. The governor’s political party affiliation changed. In the PDP’s mind, his party change transmitted him from the list of those to be praised to the list of those to be persecuted.“He and the PDP contrived the removal of Governor Nyako from office. This is a temporary and costlyvictory for it reveals more and more the undemocratic heart of the man who rules over the nation.“He now justifies his illegal and immoral acts by claiming that any show of dissent or opposition to him is the product of partisanship and thus not to be seriously considered.“This is what all dictators tell themselves and he has become one. As such, he believes he can turn his back on the will and welfare of the people in order to attain his personal ambitions. Yet, while he may ignore the people, even he cannot make them disappear nor can he keep them for seeing him for what he is.“If he truly believes the false acclaim of his coterie and party dregs are genuine, let him stop these contrived attacks against opposition politicians. If he believes so much in himself, let the people decide things at the polls.”He added that impeaching duly elected opposition politicians will not increase the president’s and the ruling party’s popularity.Attempts to get reactions from Dr. Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity were not possible as both a text message and email sent to him went unanswered. Calls and texts sent to both Olisa Metu, National Publicity secretary of the PDP and Dr Doyin Okupe, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs were also not responded to.

Look at the pot calling the kettle black.Due to your intolerance,three deputy governors served under you when you ruled lagos.

And besides Nyako has said it with his mouth that Jonathan was not behind his impeachment.

Jonathan not behind the impeachment plans against me - Murtala Nyako -

dieee nyako

Tinubu, it will not be well with you for leading gullible Nigeria astray. It was you who first called the president CLUELESS OGOGORO FISHERMAN. Today,he's a dictator, according to you. Wherever Nyako is today , and wherever Almakura and Amaechi will latter find themselves, you caused it. You used and dump at will even when you knows the consequences. APC is evil.

Tinubu, stop lamenting. Nyako was a PDP member before becoming APC member.

Nyako actually cross-carpeted to APC because he chose to fight the presidency while sponsoring terrorism, that could only happen in supporter of APC Assemblage and thats the chief reason he moved to your muslim party.

Now, the State house of Assembly has impeached him for fraud. Fraud, that he has neither denied nor exonerated himself from.

This is democracy, and the representatives of the people of that state have spoken.

So shall it be.

Meanwhile #Osun is next.

nyarko is from cameroun.
the lamido of adamawa said so with his mouth.
after nyarko is sentenced for treason,he should be deported like Shagari did to Shugaba!

Well deserved Trial

Make them just arrest am, I'm ok with that.

tinubu is too small to spoil my day!
i will pretend i didn't read this trash!

Wt else do You expect from a supporter of APC , Can any good tin come from them?
APC is associated with Evil.
In my state only Witches and Wizards carry broom.

A broom = 100 Naira
An Umbrella = 850 Naira.

Support PDP if U wnt to be happy.

Shun APC remember your loved ones.

NOTE:

. Another Clueless Idiot, Oga jona is misusing his Powers, Ya'll are leading him astray

As the saying goes "where the law is not certain then there is no law".

Its really nice to see the arrogant, evil and supposedly-untouchable supporters of APC lament of the same thing they said GEJ was not.

Who's Nyako?

Nyako is hiding in Gov. Amaechi's bedroom here in Phc...!!!

Ha!
Please ooo! It has not reached that level na? Has it?

The impeachment threat started with the APC and will end with the APC....!!! What the APC called for in 2013 is now hunting them in 2014...!!!

you don't even need to waste your time quoting to educate the APC peeps. they are known to deny even their posts on nl. they are bunch of liars and the reason why Nigeria is still where it is. shm

Tinubu is a fool sha but I never knew it was this bad

Tinibu

I pity those that listen to Tinubu and follow him. Right about now, he might be having dinner with the President and negotiating 2015 runs. He has to put this statement out to convince Nyako that he is not party to his undoing.

As it stands, Nyako is looking in the direction of Atiku Abubakar and some bigwigs in his state. Tinubu and his party are also suspects.

To Nyako; nke onye metalu...

Thanks for reminding us.

Tinubu, you will fail in the end.
Tifnubu, you will pay in the end.
You frog eyed pick pocket
Saying another has deep pocket
Who corrupt pass you?
You're a failure, damn you!
Goodluck is Godsent.
To jail you'l be sent
Bloody squint eyed wretch
In jail you will quench
Impeachment is democracy
If in doubt, you're crazy
You'l end badly
If you don't quit talking madly
Prong tongued drug baron
Thinking we're each a moronn!
Nyako's letter wasn't immoral?
The hemlock for you'd be oral
Agbaso and Pedro were okay,
In your head filled with cocaine
Or is it filled with weed?
Indeed it is; you're a supporter of APC
Instead of turning a hero
You have remained an agbero
Ekiti rejected you totally
your kit & kin hate you utterly
You are very self centred
But we will have you countered
Your end is near
Gej's victory is here!
God bless 2015-2019 .
GEJ na the in thing!

There are two things in this life you should never fight. God and the government.

wickyyolo: There are two things in this life you should never fight. God and the government.

God is a Person (Being) and shouldn't be addressed as a 'thing'. Secondly, if I see a bad government, I will fight them with my last drop of blood irrespective of whoever is in charge...!!!

TINUBU - an educated agbero, a,sophisticated weed smoker, a tyranical gov., omo ale, ofon, ekute ile, afowo osi juwe ile baba, arrogant fool. GEJ has never impeached a vice but you impeached 3 deputies within a term. Do you think we suffer from amnesia,like you ?
