Why Adamawa lawmakers impeached Nyako –APC Chairman

Adamawa State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Hon Binta Masi Garba has alleged that the failure of Governor Murtala Nyako to give Adamawa lawmakers about N1.25billion Constituency Project funds was one of the reasons behind the governor’s impeachment.
Garba, who made the allegation yesterday at a press briefing in the state party secretariat, said the lawmakers had reportedly confronted the ex-governor with a request for N50 million each for constituency projects, which he refused to oblige as a result of which the lawmakers felt offended and succumbed to the impeachment move, planned by the PDP.
She added that, at the wake of the demand, the former governor had agreed to pay the lawmakers the sum of N5OO million for the constituency projects and even gave them the sum of N350 million but despite that they were not pacified as they went ahead to connive with PDP to get the governor impeached.
Garba has similarly berated the PDP for the orchestration of Nyako’s impeachment, saying that the move was a ploy to coerce the opposition into joining the party.
She said the party could not tolerate the naked use of power by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP by engaging in threats or impeachment of the opposition governors, saying that as a party which respects the rule of law, APC will use democratic means in recapturing its stolen mandate by the PDP, adding that it has since filed a suit to challenge the PDP.
She said the visit of the Acting Governor to the PDP secretariat to intimate them that he has captured Adamawa for them is all that is needed to understand that the PDP was behind the sordid impeachment saga which was conducted with the highest form of impunity.
