C-O-N-F-U-S-E-D!!! We May Not Save Nyako From Impeachment. **denying Nyako access to the state Accounts has made the matter worse as he now lacks the financial power to fight. - APC. **instead of PDP concentrating on the security issues and the Chibok girls, they want to impeach Nyako. - Gov Okorocha. The chairman of the All Progressives Party in the state, Binta Garba; APC national leadership led by its chairman, John Odigie Oyegun, APC governors led by Owelle Rochas Okorocha efforts to save Nyako from impeachment is yielding no result according to the party leaders. Tthe APC governors frowned that denying the governor Nyako access to the state treasury has even made the matter worse as the governor now lacks the financial power to fight his way through the crisis. The governor said, “It has even got to a stage where some of his colleagues in the party are pooling resources together to assist the governor. I can tell you that the governor does not even have as much as N5 million to himself and what do you expect the governor to do particularly in the face of massive financial backup the lawmakers are getting from the PDP government? “We know that the impeachment plot against Nyako is a declared war by the PDP government to deplete our strength ahead of the coming election, but we are resolute to halt the assault and use every legal means not only to halt the assault on Nyako but also on any other APC state.” Another source said, “Governors Aliyu Wammakko and Rabiu Kwankwaso and some eminent northerners have also waded into the impeachment saga. “They are seeking to prevail on the lawmakers to have a rethink. “These governors have been meeting all day with some of the lawmakers in Abuja to see how to avert the plot.” Similarly, the Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum and Imo governor, Okorocha, urged the House of Assembly to drop the motion while asking the Presidency to intervene in the matter. He explained that in the course of current security challenges Nigeria faces, it was inappropriate for anybody to touch upon the impeachment issue. The Forum chairman stressed the fact that such a move could aggravate the tension in Adamawa and urged the state’s stakeholders to prevent such a situation for the sake of peace in the country. Instead, he advised the politicians and lawmakers to throw the effort currently spent on impeachment proceedings on the more important issue, which is the rescue of abducted Chibok girls. Okorocha said it would be surprising for the world to know that amid the security problems, all Nigeria is discussing is impeachment. Meanwhile, embattled Governor Nyako said on Friday that Jonathan does not have a hand in the impeachment move against him, even as he laid the blame on some “Abuja-based politicians.”
