According to the lawmaker that he doubts it much if the deputy Governor can do such a thing because he knows the implications and the gravity of the offence.

"I doubt it much if he can do such a thing, but may I reiterate that this is an impeachment offence and the state legislatures will not waste time in commencing the process if a letter through the executive arm will be forwarded to the House.

" This is a criminal offence and more of treason by the Deputy Governor if he eventually found guilty by the allegations raised which I doubt much is culpable and the allegations can hold water." He said

In a swift reaction, those who are sympathetic to the deputy governor alleged that the protest was but a sponsored, politically motivated and technically calculated as a step aimed at removing the Seth and replacing him with a favoured politician from the zone.

The governor while responding, said he would set up a panel of enquiry to find out the immediate and remote causes of the crises, assuring that law would take its course.

Political observers have however articulated that the Lunguda has lost confidence that there would be good governance due to the unending motivate by politics crises in their community, among other parts of the southern senatorial district of the state.

“Many Lunguda folks have since Sunday, took to the Facebook street to declare their zero support for the continuity, come 2023.

“A number of people have destroyed their ATM cards, signifying withdrawal of their supports, arguing that the ATM governor has been given dispense error to the Lunguda while trying to cash out justice,” the political commentators would observe.
