Disturbed by the impeachment of its governors,
the opposition All Progressives Congress has
vowed to take every available legal option to
stop illegal impeachment of its governors.
The party on Friday said despite the penchant of
the ruling Peoples Democratic Party to flout
court orders and act with impunity, the APC
being a firm believer in the rule of law, would
continue to seek redress in the court of law.
It was learnt that leaders of the party agreed to
challenge the sacking of the former Adamawa
State Governor, Admiral Murtala Nyako, whom
they said was impeached in defiance of a
subsisting court order.
The National Publicity Secretary of the APC,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, confirmed this in a
telephone interview with SUNDAY PUNCH .
He said “All we can do is to take the matter to
the court of public opinion as we have done.
This country belongs to all of us; we are going
to use every legal and constitutional means
available to us to stop this invasion of our
constitution.
“We have in recent times drawn the attention of
Nigerians and friends of the country to this
menace and the likely consequences.
“We are challenging some of these actions in
court, what is more worrisome to us is that even
when you win in court, they treat it with levity.
He said reports of mind-boggling amounts of
money allegedly being given to lawmakers to
facilitate the removal of APC governors must not
be swept under the carpet.
The party also said the use of the military to
perform purely civilian or police functions was
weakening the military and threatening the
overall stability of the nation.
Mohammed said Nyako’s impeachment was a
sad commentary on the character of the
legislators behind the impeachment.
In response, the Deputy Majority Leader of the
House, Mr. Adamu Kamale, challenged anyone
who had any evidence of wrongdoing against the
House to make such public.
He said “Are they saying the 20 allegations
levelled against the former governor are not
true?
“If what we are saying that he diverted a huge
amount of money belonging to Adamawa State
for personal use is untrue, are they also saying
that it is not true, that he drafted his family and
friends into the affairs of government ? Why did
the former governor not appear before the panel
to defend himself? Let them answer these
questions.”
