APC Leaders Risk Arrest For Bribing Adamawa Lawmakers by Monimatic(m): 5:23am On Jul 22, 2014 |
For offering bribe to some members of the Adamawa House of Assembly and threatening the lives of others in a botched attempt to save former Governor Murtala Nyako from impeachment, some national leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), including two governors, may face arrest and prosecution. According to a senior government official in Abuja, who craved anonymity, it was ironic for the same APC politicians to blame President Goodluck Jonathan for Nyako’s fate in the hands of the state lawmakers. The source said security agencies have evidence of the alleged crimes of the prominent politicians, bribing one member of the Adamawa state assembly and threatening the lives of some others who refused to be bribed. According to the source, intelligence report showed that the APC governors, one from the north and the other from the south, offered some of the lawmakers as much as N250 million each as bribe to scuttle the impeachment move against Nyako. When the impeachment process began, five of the 25 state lawmakers were behind Nyako, while two had travelled out of town, the government official explained. Although the governors were not named, the source said they succeeded in buying one lawmaker over, while attempts were made to buy more to boost the number of lawmakers needed to stave off the impeachment. The failure of the party leaders to buy over more lawmakers, allegedly frustrated them into issuing death threats to some of the lawmakers, the source said, warning that would be exposed if those involved continue to malign President Jonathan as the mastermind of Nyako’s impeachment, they might be made to face the full wrath of the law by appropriate security agencies. Continuing, the source said “it was the assurance that they got from the lawmaker that more members would be bought over that gave birth to the reports at that time that Nyako might not resign. “When it was clear to them that the money might not do the magic, they resorted to threats. “They threatened some of the lawmakers that they would be killed if they did not collect the money and stop the impeachment process. “What they don’t know is that all these are recorded. If they continue with these their unfounded allegations against the President, the security agencies would be directed to arrest them and confront them with overwhelming evidence,” he warned. Nyako was impeached by the state assembly a week and half ago, on charges of gross misconduct and misappropriation of state funds which they refused to defend. His deputy, Bala Ngilari, however resigned hours before the lawmakers took their final decision on him www.dailyindependentnig.com/2014/07/apc-chiefs-risk-arrest-bribing-adamawa-lawmakers/
