Amidst the impeachment uproar generated in the Niger State House of Assembly, the embattled governor, BabangidaAliyu, has decided to shell out N17 million to each of the lawmakers plotting his removal.
Confirming the gift money, none of the lawmakers is ready to reveal what the handout is meant for, though many observers believe it’s some kind of hush money.
“It was not as if the governor bribed us, it is our legal entitlements and we have a right to ask for it before the expiration of our tenure,’ IsahKawu, speaker of the House, told the PUNCH. “We have been paid and calm has returned to the assembly complex.”


Besides the N17 million, other demands of the lawmakers have got favourable nod of Aliyu. The Assembly will get more basketfuls of boons before the tenure expires. In the meantime, the law makers have suspended the impeachment proceedings against the governor.
Gov. Aliyu had got a court judgement halting the lawmakers’ move to impeach him last week, after dispatching the men of the state police command to bar the newly elected House members from getting to the Assembly complex.
The lawmakers sacked the leadership (who are pro-Aliyu of the assembly a week ago. The reasons arose from a string of allegations comprising non-implementation of House resolutions, poor welfare and non-release of the statutory allocation to the Assembly for months.

The speaker, who spoke to our correspondent on the telephone said, “I cannot speak on this issue on the telephone or anywhere on the matter.”
But one of the lawmakers confirmed this to our correspondent.
He said, “It was not as if the governor bribed us, it is our legal entitlements and we have a right to ask for it before the expiration of our tenure. We have been paid and calm has returned to the assembly complex.”
Asked whether it was true that the lawmakers had dropped the impeachment plot against the governor, the lawmaker said, “there is no need for it again.”
