All Progressives Congress (APC) governors warned yesterday against the impeachment move against Adamawa State Governor Murtala Nyako.
The governors said the energy been spent on the impeachment move could be expended to recover the over 200 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram more than two months ago.
In a statement by APC Governors’ Forum chairman, Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, signed by his Media adviser Sam Onwuemeodo, the governors said: “Following the report that the Governor of Adamawa State, Alhaji Murtala Nyako, has been served impeachment notice by the House of Assembly, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, governors’ Forum and the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has called on the leadership and members of the Adamawa State House of Assembly to drop the impeachment move in the interest of the peace of the nation.
“Governor Okorocha also advised the President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, to intervene in the matter and see that the impeachment move against the Adamawa State Governor is brought to a halt, adding that with the horrible security situation in the country at the moment, it would smack of insensitivity for anybody to be talking about impeachment of a sitting governor.
“The APC governors’ Forum Chairman equally urged the stakeholders in Adamawa State not to allow a state already having security challenges to be driven into another round of crisis which the impeachment effort could launch the state into.
“The Imo State governor opined that the energy that would be spent on the impeachment exercise could be expended on the effort to recover the Chibok girls from their abductors that have held them hostage for months now.
“According to the APC governors’ forum chairman, the outside world would not take the country serious if in the midst of all these security challenges across the nation, we would be talking about impeaching a governor.
“He called on all those concerned to allow peace reign by forgetting about the impeachment move against the Adamawa state governor.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

The state house of assembly should be fast in impeaching Nyako cos he is the bloody stupid governor wth selfish and wicked adenda
ReplyDeleteWe are still yet to confirm report of funds from islamists in exchange for the betrayal going on in Imo state. Whenever anything is set to go against APC they turn violent. When this same man decamped to APC , PDP never showed anger or treatened anyone. Why will a legitimate impeachment cause security breach? VAMPIRES.
ReplyDeletejonathan pls implement as okorocha said.
ReplyDeleteAnd so what, is he the only Governor to be impeached in Nigeria ? we have seen what happened to balarabe musa in kaduna. so the APC governor should shut up
ReplyDeleteIf he is guilty,then allow the state assembly to do their work .
ReplyDeleteOkorocha, just like listen to yourself. Don't bring the issue of chibok girls into this matter. The provisions of the constitution for impeachment of a sitting governor is clear. If Nyako was found wanting in his conduct that warrants his impeachment, he should be impeached. Pls don't bring Mr President into this matter because APC will always point accusing finger on him for their fouls. Take time Rochas. Be warned.
