LAGOS ASSEMBLY: Commence Suntai’s Impeachment Process Now, Lagos Lawmaker Tells Taraba’s Lawmakers Posted by: legis admin Posted date: August 29, 2013 | 2:22 pm In: ASSEMBLY LEGISREPORTS NG – Deputy Whip of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Rotimi Abiru has urged the Taraba State House of Assembly to immediately commence the impeachment process of the ailing Governor of the state, Danbaba Suntai, saying “the governor is incapacitated and unfit to continue governing the state”. Speaking with our reporter in a telephone reaction on Thursday, Hon. Abiru who is representing Shomolu Constituency 2 in the Assembly, expressed surprise at the dissolution of the Taraba State cabinet by Suntai. According to the lawmaker, “this is a man that just returned after been hospitalised for about ten months and while people are still having doubts about his ability and fitness to continue as the governor of the state, the next thing he could think of is to dissolve a cabinet that has been running the affairs of the state since he became incapacitated. “Since he returned, he has not thought it wise to address the state; the other he communicated to the House of Assembly through a letter, though, there is nothing wrong in writing a letter to the House of Assembly, but if he is truly fit to continue governing the state, I see no reason why by now he has not addressed the state. “These people in his absence were praying for his quick recovery so that he could come back and continue his job, but now that he has returned, he could not even address the state to say common ‘thank you’, that is very bad. So the state House of Assembly should immediately commence his impeachment process if he fails to address the state before the end of the week. “If they fail to do what is right, they should have it at the back of their minds that posterity will judge them. Also, his party the Peoples Democratic Party should come in and do what is right by allowing his deputy to take over, so that they won’t tarnish this democracy that took a lot of time to gain,” Hon. Abiru added. This report was prepared by our reporter in Lagos
