Monimatic: Following the impeachment notice
served on the Nasarawa State
governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura by
the state Assembly, the embattled
state chief executive hurriedly left
Lafia, the state capital yesterday for
Abuja in an effort to prevail on
President Goodluck Jonathan to
intervene in the matter.
LEADERSHIP reports that, Al-Makura
before leaving the state capital at
about 4p.m. had held series of
meetings with his aides and party
officials intent upon seeing how the
impeachment impasse can be
surmounted.
Addressing the press at Shendam
Road Assembly complex however, the
clerk of the Assembly, Mr. Ego
Maikeffi, disclosed that after several
attempts to serve the impeachment
notice on the governor, he was denied
access into the Government House.
Ego stated further that in line with the
directive of the Speaker, he is set to
serve the notice through the media
today.
The House Committee chairman on
information and security, Hon.
Mohammed Baba Ibaku, confirmed
the development saying other options
of serving the notice would be
explored.
In a swift reaction however, the
Senior Special Assistant to the
governor on Public Affairs, Hon.
Abdulhamid Kwarra, denied the report
insisting that the Assembly was yet
to serve the notice as a 6pm
yesterday.
Speaking on the unfolding scenario,
the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Mr. Mark Neto said the state
Assembly would be doing a
disservice to the state if they had a
catalogue of such gross misconduct
and refused to take action.
Mr. Neto who noted that the PDP
hierarchy in the state would have
preferred the party to slug it out with
Al-Makura at the poll but regretted
however that “posterity would not be
fair to the members if they gloss over
such grievous misconduct”. He
denied that the PDP embarked upon
impeachment because it was afraid
to face Al-Makura at the polls.
The immediate past state chairman
of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Mr. Stanley Buba, on his part
called on Governor Al-Makura to
address the allegations levelled
against him promptly, saying that the
Assembly was only discharging its
constitutional duty.
LEADERSHIP reports that before Al-
Makura left for Abuja, notable
traditional rulers in the state had
converged at the guest house of the
Emir of Lafia, Alhaji Isa Mustapha
Agwai l, with a view to seeking their
intervention on the matter.
Informed sources also disclosed that
a high-powered delegation of
traditional rulers and other respected
stakeholders in the state were
expected to join Al-Makura in Abuja
today so as to solicit President
Jonathan’s intervention.

So we have such people in APC

Now those accusing Jonathan should please defend the governor further.

Nyako was asked to face the panel, he refused to show up, he was interviews be neither deny nor agree to the allegation, instead he kept saying when he needs presidents help he will call for help.

Now nassarawa refusing to address the allegation, some of the things oshiomole is been accused he is not denying it, so WTF is APC and their supporters problem?

If you ajibole governors can't remove their hands from state funds, then you have no reason to shout when they are thrown out of office, they should commence impeachment on all corrupt governors. Nonsense

I would have advise APC distant themselves from Nyako impeachment, but again they never disappoint, nyako is no baby and knows when he is oppressed or thrown out of office illegally. APC organising press conference makes them stupid and foolish over the impeachment, look at the man even agreed he committed a crime but the problem is it was committed 5 years ago, anyway Mr john Onyegun, it doesn't matter when he committed the crime, what matters was that a crime was committed, you can't be stealing from one side and be pointing accusing finger to another. If you want to be activist or be a governor and criticising Jonathan then you just remain clean, you can't steal and be accusing someone else when who you are accusing have the power to nail you for your crime. The governor FF big time, he thinks niger state governor and other northern governors love Jonathan? They know how to pay the game and the man may decide to overlook their crime. If he likes let him remove all the APC governors as far as it's through the right process and they are guilty of the crime, PDP is bad, you opposition should make a difference, you can't be stealing and be painting PDP bad.

Demdem: Jonathan the fool, what has he been doing all these months. He had to wait till a pakistani 17 year old girl tell him the right thing. Very useless man.
The only thing the mothers want is immediate freedom for their girls and not sweet talks.

Retardemdem, how else do you want this to be explain to you. Rretardemdem, there was no, never any abduction of girls from chinok school

SiriusBlack: Anybody who has used an RPG-7 will tell you that shooting down a gunship with that thing is almost impossible...exceptions are if the gunship if flying unusually low...RPG-7s are HIGHLY inaccurate at long ranges...the warhead after about 100 yards, veers off on its own..AAA will likely be the main threat to the gunships..but ill be honest with you, this government is not serious...why 6 gunships? We need at least 35-50 gunships for this war...6 gunships is even just about enough for the whole maiduguri...what about troops at the real frontlines at Gwarzo, Biita, Mandara mountains, Kirenowa, Cameroonian Border axis, Chad Basins, Alagarno and the other hotspots I did not mention? 6 gunships? Is it until Aso rock is bombed that these people will rise up to their responsibilities? Brave men are dying everyday because of lack of air cover...6 gunships?..GEJ Please I'm begging you on behalf of all the good men and women on this thread...Please Sir...we need Firepower!! Not recruitment of teens to come here and die like flies..Pls Sir.

Sirblack, do you think the govt, is unwilling to end this war, because everything happening around suggest they want it continue, I believe the sponsors have been known and refuse to name them, also not doing enough to help our troops win the war, do you think the govt. is not willing to end the war?

feedthenation: Exactly my thoughts, GEJ and his cronies are setting a very bad precedent which will surely come back with bigger repercussion.
I only feel sorry for those who will be affected then, the northerns are good student of politics and they will surely use it well when its their turn.
I hope nobody will complain then.

Nonsense is it a southerner that will made governor? Why are you not asking if nyako is really guilty of the accusation before pointing at Jonathan? GEJ cronies in deed

Go boys. You can do it.
