Trulydude:

This is a different case, because in this case the governor is sick, but the cabal don't want the power to be transmitted to the deputy

The Report didn't state that!

Johans1991:
he transmitted power to osinbajo.
read and understand before opening that thing

[/s]

Lostz:
same way the national assembly did not impeached buhari. they are all stooges

You guys are just too daft to contribute in public.
Did Buhari transmitted letter to national assembly or not? Did your missing governor did the same?

It's not a strange thing to them and i expect them to have been use to it because this exactly was the case during Danbaba suntai when he was governor and they seem to be cool with it

Are you sure ?

gowaga68:
Are you sure ?

Yeah!

This is the bad precedences I was talking about.

Nobody is talking about how legal but that buhari did it first.

This is what happens when you elect deficits as president.

Did Buhari transmitted letter to national assembly or not? Did your missing governor did the same?

and Abba Kyari have to take documents to London for buhari to sign? is it not same thing? buhari was doing his official assignment from London while this one is in Abuja when both should have properly handover to their VP.


he is not my governor. I am from the south

overall90:


imagine APC saying it is an impeachable offence

That's the level of hypocrisy in Nigeria today.
Buhari practically lived in London but nobody said sh1t.

saintadeola:
Idiots,but the president stays over two month in UK, it's not impeachable offence, Apc are bunch of morons

On both occasion where Buhari spent more than 21 days away on medical leave, Buhari wrote to the national assembly and also handed power to Osinbajo.
For trips below 21 days, a FHC ruled that he is not constitutionally required to hand over power to his deputy.

Righteousness89:
This is usually the case in the interior northern states

I remember back then in Yobe in 2006,
Bukar Abba was governor but hardly stays in the state...

It's always Abuja

Which one is interior north again ? This bigot clearly has no idea where Taraba is, most state governors in Nigeria spend their weekends in Abuja, a certain governor in Enugu was away for close to a year without transmitting any letter to the house of assembly, Orji Kalu used to spend most of his time in office as governor in Abuja, same thing with the likes of Yahaya Bello and Ajimobi.

There might not be project as big as taking the the notice of Nigerians but I can tell u that yobe indigenes enjoys the dividends of democracy better than majority of other states indigenes.. Free education from primary to tertiary institution including post graduate degree, free medical care for children aged 5 and below together with nursing mothers, complete tarred roads linking all the 17lgas with the state capital. Standard hospitals in all the 17lgas, more than 5000 units of housing estates to mention but a few.

all northern governors , apart from Kano ( he was like others until dollar stuff )

TARABA STATE GOVERNMENT

Press Statement

GOV ISHAKU HAS COMMITTED NO IMPEACHABLE OFFENCE

In the past couple of weeks, the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Taraba State, had orchestrated a campaign of hate and acrimony against the person and the administration of His Excellency, Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku, Executive Governor of Taraba State, taking advantage of the Governor’s prolonged stay in Abuja which was necessitated by an unfortunate domestic accident he had earlier suffered. As a result, His Excellency has had to stay back in Abuja to receive medical attention.

But rather than show sympathy for the Governor, APC leaders have taken advantage of this unfortunate development to invent and promote all kinds of inanities and outright falsehood against him.

Some of them have even gone to the ridiculously extent of suggesting that by staying behind in Abuja for medical attention, Governor Ishaku should be impeached. This is proof of how callous APC leaders in the state can be and the extent they can go in their quest for political power.

We urge the good people of Taraba State, their friends and admirers in and outside the state to ignore the campaign of falsehood being orchestrated by APC leaders led by Barr. Ibrahim El-Sudi, APC APC chairman in Taraba State. His Excellency is desirous to return to the state and will do so when he has sufficiently recovered.

But it is also necessary for me to state with emphasis that, contrary to claims by Barr El-Sudi, Governor Ishaku’s stay in Abuja has not in any negative way affected the delivery of democracy dividends by his administration. No aspect of governmental activities has suffered a setback as a result.

All government projects are going on smoothly and government has continued to meet its obligations to contractors handling its projects while progress are being monitored by appropriate government ministries and officials.

For example, the dualisation of the Airport road in Jalingo which comes with an overhead bridge has started and has made steady progress even in the absence of the Governor. So also is the Mararaba- Baissa-Abong-Kan-Iyaka-Nguroje road which is the shortest road to the Mambilla Dam Project.

This road is the initiave of the Ishaku administration and was openly acknowledged and commended by the Hon Minister of Power, Eng. Saleh Mamman during the Sensitization Flag off on the Mambila Dam project, an event hosted by Governor Ishaku in Abuja on Tuesday, February 11,2020.

All APC stakeholders present at the NICON Hilton Hotel venue of the flag-off openly applauded Governor Ishaku’s initiative and drive.
The Sensitization flag off itself was seen by the Minister of Power and all other stakeholders as a major milestone step towards the implementation of the Mambilla Dam Project.

It is therefore a gross display of ignorance for Barr. Ibrahim El-Sudi to say that Gov Ishaku’s absence has delayed the implementation of the Dam Project.

The Wukari Tsokundi road and Yoro-Pantisawa road projects have also been going on smoothly and progress reports (including pictorial evidence) are sent out constantly to the Governor.

The 2020 budget bill has since been signed into law and it is being implemented with vigour while salaries of workers, pensions and gratuities are also being paid promptly. In various parts of the state, classrooms are being constructed and others renovated while the construction of Model Basic Education schools are currently on-going in Takum and Gembu, both in advanced stages of completion.

It is therefore wrong and misleading to suggest that the Governor’s absence has affected morale of civil servants and governance in the state.

In the same vein, APC leaders displayed unpardonable ignorance and mischief when they also suggested that Gov Ishaku has breached Section 190 of the 1999 Constitution(as Amended} by not transmitting power to his Deputy.

The said section of the Constitution speaks of transmission of power only when the Governor proceeds on vacation or is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office. (See Section 190(2).

In this case, the Governor is not on vacation and he is not unable to discharge the duties of his office. He has been conducting his official duties diligently. Recently, in Abuja, he visited the offices of World Bank in search of the Bank’s assistance for development projects of the state government.

He also visited the Japanese Embassy where he witnessed the signing of a loan agreement with Hope Afresh Foundation, an organization founded by his wife. The loan is for boosting Sesame seed production in Taraba State. The official sensitisaztion flag-off of the Mambilla Dam project is yet another major recent official outing for Gov Ishaku in Abuja.

Government activities are not at a standstill as El-Sudi wanted the public to believe. For the sake of the general public who are being misinformed and misled on this matter, Governor Ishaku has not breached any part of the Constitution.He remains focused and irrevocably committed to peace and the socio-economic development of Taraba State.

What the people expected is for APC leaders to acknowledge and praise Gov Ishaku for diligently ensuring the smooth running of the affairs of the state despite his accident.

Those who work closely with the Governor know that he works more than 18 hours daily and are amazed at his display of energy, zeal and patriotism in the pursuit of his vision for the state.

We have learn a lot of useful lessons from him and request Barr. El-Sudi to come and spend even it is one day with the Governor and to see how he works, and thereafter take a tour round the state to see what the Ishaku administration has achieved for the state.

In case El-Sudi is not aware since he may not have been to Taraba in several years, there is now a daily flight direct from Abuja to Jalingo. This is also part of the democracy dividends delivered by long ago by the Ishaku administration. He can take advantage of these flights to visit his state to see other great things the administration has done.

Where were you when dullardo spent 6months in the UK?

. It can be great when you plan well for yourself and your household. If you depend on our useless leaders from presidency to councilors you're on your own.

helinues:
55 days and the state assembly are not impeaching him?

Well, may be he already sorted them.. State assembly reps are not different from local government chairman. They are both governor stooges

Go and boil granites! You have nothing meaningful to say.

When people are talking about serious you will see some are saying nonses.

Hmmm

Indeed, NL is a place to be. Therefore, anybody who‘s not a nairalander is a nobody and he or she is nowhere.

Oh wow! Gwamnor in abuja?? Incase he needs any tech services sha! I’m the plug...Yuu people shouting up and down should Mind your business or better still transfer your aggression to ur docile state governors..,Mtsssw. Double standard lots...

All APC members and their super silly supporters are sick in the head for calling for the impeachment of this Gov. So because he is a PDP gov and stay away for a while due to ill health issue, it has become an impeachable offence? May Thunder and lightning strike whoever first spew that gibberish nonesense talk. What about your president that has been ruling the “kwantry“ from the sky all these while? Who call for his impeachment? Zombies.
Im outta here jare!

PapaBaby:

You're just too dull and find it difficult to comprehend. Did buhari send a letter to the senate when travelling? Learn how to read and understand before u type rubbish. Make your family proud for once at least

He governs them in spirit.

Anyway, there's WhatsApp video, Skype, zoom, Google meet etc... Enough video apps to go round.
They're in safe hands I bet.
After all na so Presido dey travel too.

Surely NEVER!

Can this country be great?

It's only in Nigeria would such an illegal act be going on with no recourse for the citizens of the state. How can a public servant that is being paid with public funds but is not answerable to the public? It's one thing if he's running his own private enterprise but when you're the governor of a state, it puts the whole thing in a different realm. He has no right to abdicate his office; still, be getting paid without being accountable to no one.
