Nasarawa House Serves Gov Al Makura Impeachment Notice by kingphilip(m): 12:33am On Jul 15, 2014
The leadership of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has moved against another All Progressives Congress, APC, governor, few minutes after the Adamawa State House of Assembly indicted Governor Murtala Nyako of gross misconduct.

Gov. Al-Makura
While the Adamawa lawmakers are awaiting a date to vote on the impeachment of the governor, the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, yesterday, served Governor Tanko Al Makura an impeachment notice, setting the stage for a immediate removal of the governor, whose 24 member House is dominated by PDP.
To ease Al Makura out of office and pave the way for the emergence of a PDP governor in the state, the Speaker, Alhaji Musa Ahmed, yesterday, directed the Clerk of the House to serve the Governor with a 16 count notice of gross misconduct.
The decision to put the governor on impeachment notice followed a motion of public interest raised by the Deputy Majority Leader of the House, Mr. Yahaya Usman (PDP Umaisha/Ugya).
The motion
Usman presented a document signed by 20 of the 24 members of the Assembly with the allegations of misconduct against the governor and urged the members to adopt it.
Usman said: “This is a notice of impeachment for Governor Tanko Al Makura of Nasarawa State for gross misconduct.
“For violating the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, today being the 14th day of July, 2014, the 20 members of the 24 members of this House unanimously endorsed to serve Governor Tanko Al Makura notice of impeachment.”
The Chief Whip, Mr. Mohammed Okpede (PDP Doma North) seconded the motion.
The Speaker asked the Clerk to serve the governor through the media if he finds it difficult to personally serve the governor.
Out of the 24 members in the House of Assembly, only four are members of APC, the governor’s party, while the 20 others are in the opposition PDP.
The impeachment notice, which did not come as a surprise to many, is seen as a deft retaliatory action by PDP national leadership to whittle the ranks of APC, which witnessed a historic crossover of five former PDP governors to its fold last December, thereby reducing the number of states controlled by the ruling party from 23 to 18.
The Speaker explained that the House had complied with the provision of the constitution in serving the governor with an impeachment notice.
The gov’s aide speaks
Reacting, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Almakura, Mr. Illiasu Yakubu, told journalists that the governor had been with President Goodluck Jonathan at the commissioning of the OLAM rice farm in Doma and was not aware of any notice yet, but will respond appropriately if it turns out to be true.
The state chairman of APC, Mr. Philip Chokwei said he was aware of the moves by the House, saying “the party would take necessary steps where the needs arise.”
C’ttee on Adama gov, Deputy submits report
Meanwhile, the seven-man investigation panel constituted by the former acting chief judge of Adamawa State, Justice Ambrose Mammadi to investigate allegations of gross misconduct leveled against Governor Murtala Nyako and his Deputy, Bala Ngillari submitted its report to the House of Assembly, yesterday.
Submitting the report to the Speaker, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri in his office, the chairman of the panel, Buba Kaigama disclosed that in the course of the panel’s assignment, the governor and his deputy, refused to appear before it.
According to him, “despite been given enough opportunities, the respondents, Murtala Nyako and Bala Ngillari, did not attend neither did they send representatives.”
He added that the report was summarised into eight volumes, four for Governor Murtala Nyako and four for his Deputy.

In the next two to three weeks, APC would loss two governors with Edo state following closely.

Tinubu is being taught a lesson in politicking, real politics, not Amala Politics.

Who said GEJ is clueless??

Who is clueless now??
