The Nasarawa State House of Assembly on Thursday advised the public to disregard rumours that the legislature planned to impeach Gov. Tanko Al-Makura.
Alhaji Musa Ahmed, the Speaker of the House, gave the advice while reacting to the impeachment speculation in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Keffi.
Ahmed (PDP-Nasarawa Central) also denied holding any discussion with President Goodluck Jonathan or any other person over the impeachment plot. “I want to make it clear that the Assembly had not in any quarter discuss with any person, even President Goodluck Jonathan, that the House will impeach Gov. Al-Makura.
“The House must have a reason if it must impeach the governor. What is the reason; can those who carry such false rumours come out and prove their allegation on such impeachment? People should stop that rumour mongering… The House did not had any discussion with President Jonathan or with any other person in the country to impeach Gov. Tanko Al-Makura,” Ahmed emphasized.
The Speaker also flayed the Lagos State House of Assembly, which he said went to press over the speculation of impeachment without confirming the matter from its Nasarawa State counterpart. He described the allegation against the house as “unfortunate, barbaric, uncalled for and an attempt to tarnish our (lawmakers) good image’’.
