Nyako: On the brink..
Governor Murtala Nyako of
Adamawa State is fighting for his
political life as his determined
political opponents move to
shove him out of office
The impeachment drama playing
out in Adamawa State took
another turn yesterday after the
embattled governor of the state,
Murtala Nyako declared a two
day public holiday purportedly
to enable the citizenry to pray
over the issues that have
recently bestirred the state.
The declaration of the two day
public holiday was, however,
largely seen as a masterstroke
on the part of the governor to
cripple the move against him
given that the Chief Judge of the
state who belatedly constituted
the impeachment panel was due
to retire today. By declaring the
public holiday it was expected
that the inauguration of the
impeachment panel would be
delayed.
Governor Murtala Nyako
However, the panel waved away
the machination as it
commenced sitting yesterday in
a private hotel, J & J Holiday Villa
in Yola.
The decision of the panel to
proceed with its duties it was
learnt had demoralized the
governor and fueled
suggestions that the governor
was considering resigning from
office.
Remarkably those who have
positioned themselves for the
governor’s jugular have
remained undaunted despite the
seeming conciliatory gestures of
Nyako. Nyako was first elected
as governor in 2007 and
reelected for a second term in
2011. He, however, decamped
from the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP the party on whose
platform he won his two
elections folloing strong
disagreements with the
mainstream of the party led by
the immediate past national
chairman of the party, Alhaji
Bamanga Tukur.
Nyako had in the past proved to
be pugnacious against the
president and the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP and even
against former Vice-President
Atiku Abubakar who had in the
past come out to save him in
difficult times.

them suppose hang am....if na tru.

If he dosent resign.. mek dem golf am comot frm d office.... Criminal.. 2nd to comment... #dancing#

Nigeria is a cursed with bad leaders, imagine a case where Nyako was still in good terms with the powers that be, would he have been investigated at all?
I think most of this crimes were perpetrated when he was still a member of the ruling PDP, why was he not stopped then (when it all began)?
Goes to show that if you remain loyal, you can loot as much as you can...Scary thing is how much have the current PDP governors (ie those who are loyal to the game) looted out of their respective state Treasury's?

If they can av 20 charge against him.I av 200 charges against Pre. Jona.Just to remove him frm office.What a country.

Most of the crimes were committed in 2011,2012 and 2013.Why didn't the house impeach him then?
