The wind of impeachment blowing in the political space gathered some momentum Thursday when the Nasarawa State House of Assembly decided that the impeachment notice on Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, be served through the media, since he had been elusive to be personally served the notice.The governor had been accused of 16 offences summed up as “gross misconduct”. The various attempts by the House of assembly to serve him the notice in person since Monday, when the impeachment proceedings began, have been futile.Al-Makura was reported to have rushed to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday to plead with President Goodluck Jonathan to intervene so that the impeachment noose could be staved off, but the public service of the notice yesterday indicated that his plea caught no ice with the presidency.THISDAY gathered that the resolve of the House of Assembly to publicly serve the governor the impeachment notice is to avoid the Murtala Nyako experience who had fled Adamawa State in order to frustrate the impeachment process, which demands that he be served personally with the impeachment notice.Section 188 of the 1999 constitution as amended stipulates that “the Speaker of the House of Assembly shall, within seven days of the receipt of the notice cause a copy of the notice to be served on the holder of the office and on each member of the House of Assembly, and shall also cause any statement made in reply to the allegations by the holder of the office to be served on each member of the House of Assembly.”In order to avoid the Nyako scenario, the Speaker of the Nasarawa House of Assembly, Alhaji Musa Mohammed, directed the Clerk of theHouse, Mr. Ego Abashe, to serve the governor through a substituted means should he remain unreachable in person.“In the event that His Excellency, Governor Tanko Al-Makura, cannot be reached for service, the clerk is directed to serve him with the impeachment notice through the media,” he said.To dissuade the lawmakers from going ahead with the impeachment plot, thousands of youths had trooped to the streets of Lafia, the state capital, and to the state house of assembly to protest the attempt to oust the governor. But that did not stop 20 out of the 24 lawmakers in the House from endorsing the impeachment notice which was also published in the newspapers.If the impeachment succeeds, Al-Makura will be the second governor to be so impeached this year and the seventh governor to be impeached under the current democratic dispensation. Al-Makura was the only elected governor under the defunct Congress for Political Change (CPC), but became a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) when CPC merged with the other opposition parties to form the APC.While the 20 members of the House determined to impeach the governor are members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the remaining four who did not endorse the impeachment paper are the only APC lawmakers in the House.

Anikura, O' daa booooo

Goodbye

GOING! GOING!! ANOTHER JANJAWEEEEEED? GONE!

Chai Chai PDP this your tactical decimation of the supporters of APC one after the other via impeachment; remember Diaris is...

By August 10, it would have been confirmed that APC had been reduced from 16 to 12, two from election, two from impeachment. APC thinks they have monopoly over political manoeuvrings, now they know better.

HisRoyalHardnes: GOING! GOING!! ANOTHER JANJAWEEEEEED? GONE!

They never see anything yet.

It is a shame that those PDP lawmakers refused to see the good fortune that befell the state upon his assumption of the governor of the state. This man has done in 3 years twice as much as Abdullahi Adamu and Aliyu Doma put together have done in 12 years!

Shame on them if he leaves, its not about the party but the good leadership. Am sure he has not been sharing the money.

The evil Jonathan is planting in Nigeria will take generations to uproot (if it does not destroy Nigerians before then).

I believe you are just a kid degrading the value and decency on Nairaland. Tomorrow if you impregnate an unfortunate lady, Nigeria will state receiving new consignments of Kid proper Parenting at Home.

Tufiakwa. If your family is informed on how negatively you are impacting your generation, they will flog you at the Town-Square
