Adamawa Government Insists Impeachment Process Is Illegal Part1

An Adamawa State government official says the State House of Assembly's process of serving an impeachment notice to the State governor, Murtala Nyako and his deputy, Mr James Ngillari, is illegal and an act of impunity.

The Director, Press and Public Affairs, Government House in Yola, the state capital, Ahmed Sajoh, said on Friday that there was something unusual about the process, insisting that lawmakers, who had few months back, passed a vote of confidence on the governor, could not have come up with allegations against him now.

"When 25 of the lawmakers came to the Government House, to pass the vote of confidence on the governor, we thought all things were normal," he said.

After the House had agreed to serve the governor the notice, the Clerk had gone to the State House to issue the notice but did not see the governor or his deputy.

He returned to the House, briefing it that the governor and his deputy had evaded service.

Mr Sajoh said that the Clerk's claim that the governor and his deputy evaded service was not true, insisting that the governor had gone to Abuja to attend a meeting on 'Safe School Initiative' with the former Prime Minister of Britain, Gordon Brown. He further said that the offices had closed as at the time the Clerk of the House got to the office complex.
