The Nasarawa State House of Assembly yesterday denied reports of a fresh
plan for another impeachment notice with additional allegations against
Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura.
The House Committee Chair-man on Information, Mohammed Baba Ibaku, told
Daily Trust that the House had no such plan as reported yesterday.
“An impeachment notice is not told, it is done. If we are compiling
fresh allegations against the governor, we will do so. It will not be
the media that will urge us to do so with speculations. I don’t want to
react to speculations, especially as there are no names mentioned in the
report,” Ibaku said.
Governor Al-Makura’s aid, Abdulhamid Kwarra, said the governor would not
react on speculations, adding;
“There is no statement in the report that is credited to any named
source. We are not aware that the assembly has made any statement, no
resolution, no motion. How can we begin to react to what is wholly
speculator,” Kwarra said.
A report yesterday alleged that the House was compiling additional
allegations on a fresh notice of impeachment against the governor after
a panel recently dismissed all allegations contained in the July 14
notice in which the House levelled a 16-count charge of gross misconduct
in the bid to impeach Al-Makura.
