20 Charges Against Governor Murtala Nyako by Kingspin(m): 7:35am On Jul 08, 2014 |
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.

Corrupt siphoning of the sum of N300 million public funds through a company, Hydrosources Resources Ltd in the name of Mubi By-pass without mobilising to site or any construction carried out long after collecting the N300 million from Adamawa state funds. 7.

20 allegations are just enough to "give a dog a bad name and hang him"! Politically speaking he won't be able to answer to all of those allegations so its best he resign before the impeachment holds! |

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? |
