Yola—The lingering crisis between the Executive
and Legislative arms of government in Adamawa
State came to its climax yesterday as nine
members believed to be loyal to Governor Bala
Ngillari sat at the Conference Hall of the
Government House and impeached both the
Speaker, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri and his deputy, Mr
Kwamoti La’ori.
Fintiri was replaced by Hon. Jerry Kumdisi as the
new speaker following a motion moved by Hon
Kabillo and seconded by the member representing
Yola South, Hon Abuzarri Ribadu.
In the run-up to the just concluded general
elections in the country, the House of Assembly had
gone on a three-week recess to allow members
participate in the electoral process.
But a day to the re-opening of the House after the
elections, 11 members believed to be loyal to
Ngillari, issued a statement expressing their
dissatisfaction with the leadership style of Fintiri
and threatened to effect a change in the house
leadership.
The threat forced Fintiri to shift the plenary which
ought to have commenced on Monday, April 20, to
Monday, April 27 but even at that the House could
not sit as the Assembly remained under lock and
key prompting the aggrieved lawmakers to issue
another statement warning that since the speaker
could not open the House for legislative functions,
they had no alternative order than to sit anywhere
else within the state.
As the crisis deepened, nine among the 11
aggrieved lawmakers Tuesday convened at the
Government House where they removed the
speaker and his deputy.
As soon as the nine lawmakers arrived the
conference room, the member representing Gombi
Constituency, Jerry Kumdisi moved for the
appointment of Wale Fwa as protem speaker and
was seconded by the member representing Girei
constituency Abubakar Umar Girei.
While presiding over the session, Fwa noted that the
reason for convening the session followed the
consistent refusal of Fintiri to open the House even
as series of entreaties on him fell on deaf ears.

Okay.

GEJ OUR NEXT UN SEC GEN! HOW IT WILL HAPPEN I DO NOT KNOW. BUT WILL IT HAPPEN? YES IT WILL.

And the madness continues, yet some fools are complaining about the Ekiti Lawmakers who are fighting for their rights. Anyways its just few days to go. Cant believe they could come up with such attitude again. And some people almost crucified Tambuwa and others for scaling the fence when almost the same scenario was about to be played.

efilefun:
And the madness continues

Brace up for the worst, happening within the next 29 days. 2 will soon be greater than 22 yet again.

This is the jungle called Nigeria.

Useless fintiri, more trouble shall come your way- you may never find peace again.
