GOV. NYAKO MAY RECEIVE HIS IMPEACHMENT CARD TODAY.Uncertainty has pervaded the Adamawa landscape as the state House of Assembly convenes an emergency meeting today, even as the seven-man panel submitted its report before the speaker of the House, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri. Many in the state are afraid that the impeachment card may be in the offing for both Governor Murtala Nyako and his deputy Bala James Ngilari who might have been indicted by the reports following their failure to honour the invitation extended to them by the seven-man panel. In a telephone chat, the chairman, House Committee on Information, Hon. Adamu Kamale, told LEADERSHIP correspondent that the House had announced the convoking of an emergency meeting although he could not disclose what the meeting was all about. The panel conducted a two-day sitting on Friday and Saturday following which it submitted its report before the speaker of the House of Assembly at the State Assembly complex in Yola. However, the seven-man panel constituted by the former acting chief judge of the state, Mammadi, finally submitted its report to the speaker on Monday. The seven-man panel, which stormed the state House of Assembly Complex at exactly 2:20pm, came amidst impregnable security provided by stern-looking soldiers who were wielding AK-47 assault rifles. While presenting the report, the chairman of the seven-man committee, Mallam Buba Kaigama, said the committee has discharged its mandate and has compiled a comprehensive report following the sittings of the panel. He said both the governor and his deputy were given the opportunity to respond to the allegations of gross misconduct against them in line with the mandate of the committee but they blatantly refused to use the opportunity to grace the panel’s sittings in order to give their own account.
