Adamawa State House of Assembly members this afternoon July
15th impeached the state governor, Murtala Nyako, following a report by a 7-man
investigative committee that probed allegations of gross misconduct and
financial impropriety against him.
The report, which was read by the State Assembly Speaker
Umaru Fintiri on the floor of the House, found the governor guilty of all the
16 allegations of gross misconduct. 18 out of the 24 members of the State
Assembly then signed a resolution removing the governor.
The House then passed a motion that the Speaker, Umaru
Fintiri, should be sworn in as the state’s acting governor. According to
reports, that will be done by 4pm today.
Meanwhile, the state Deputy Governor who was also
investigated by the panel, had resigned his position earlier in the day in a
letter he sent to the House of Assembly which was read by members and
immediately approved.
