Jigawa State House of Assembly Speaker, Idris Garba has been removed over refusal to share, equally, N12 million
allegedly released to him by Governor
Muhammadu Badaru Abubakar as lawmakers’ New Year ‘gift.’
Besudesm Garba was also removed over his high handedness, rigidity and refusal to carry along along his colleagues in activities of the House.
And so, yesterday, out of 30 members 25 signed his impeachment notice. Eventually, 23 members removed him at a plenary where he was absent.
His deputy, Ahmed Garba, presided at the session where he was impeached. There was no dissenting voice.
Garba, from Jahun local government, emerged speaker in 2015, in a chamber populated mostly by newcomers.
His colleagues also accused him of arrogating “to himself too much power, which necessitated us in losing confidence in him.”
The last straw for Garba, they claimed, was the alleged case of a missing N6 million from the N12 million released to members by the governor as their New Year gift.
An assembly source told Daily Sun members were not happy with the situation and demanded for an explanation from him. He reportedly ignored their request.
In a related development, some politicians in the state also criticised the assembly for sponsoring 11 members including Garba, to Mauritius, on a non-specified reason while 18 members went to Saudi Arabia, on pilgrimage.
A civil servant, who works in the assembly but, who declined to be named said, “it was glaring that when our people are barely able to feed themselves, some few members are only concerned about how to make frivolous travels with taxpayers money.”
