Nyako’s Impeachment: Group Hails Adamawa Assembly

The United Nigerians Forum, a civil rights group, has described the impeachment notice served the Adamawa State governor by the State Assembly as a brave move which showed the independence of the House.

Speaking in Abuja, the convener of the forum, Comrade Umar Farouk said for democracy to thrive, every arm of government must be alive to its constitutional duties bestowed on them as their basic role of serving as checks and balances to each other.

He urged workers, market women, artisans, youth movements and democratic organisations to give undiluted support to the House as a way of saving democracy in Adamawa State.

He further said, “At this crucial time in the political evolution of Adamawa State, we call on the lawmakers to resist any attempt by any individual, groups or political party to dissuade them from performing their constitutional duty through any form of inducement or bribery.”

He said the allegations against Nyako are weighty and the legislators should not hesitate to call on law enforcement agencies including the EFCC where such cases of inducement, bribery and ‘Ghana-must-go’ syndrome occur.
