True.
I will circumscribe myself to the subject matter on Ali Gusau:

1.
Section 182 (1) (i) of the Constitution provides that nobody is qualified to be Governor if he has been indicted for embezzlement or fraud by a Judicial Commission of Inquiry or an Administrative Panel of Inquiry or a Tribunal set up under the Tribunals of Inquiry Act, a Tribunal of Inquiry Law or any other law by the Federal and State Government which indictment has been accepted by the Federal or State Government, respectively.

Ali Gusau was impeached for "abuse of office."


2.
Indictment to me means "a written accusation before a Court."
(None in this case).

Section 36(5):
“every person who is charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed to be innocent until he is, proved guilty.”

I will quote the words of the Supreme Court in AC v INEC 2007, per Aloysius Katsina-Alu (JSC as he then was) of blessed memory:

The trial and conviction by a court is the only constitutionally permitted way to prove guilt and therefore the, only ground for the imposition of criminal punishment or penalty for the criminal offences of embezzlement or fraud. Clearly the imposition of the penalty of disqualification for embezzlement or fraud solely on the basis of an indictment for these offences by an administrative panel of inquiry implies a presumption of guilt, contrary to section 36(5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999. I say again that convictions for offences and imposition of penalties and punishments are matters appertaining exclusively to judicial power:
