Adamawa state Governor Nyakoimpeached, deputy resigns willingly.

Adamawa State House of Assembly members this
afternoon July 15th impeached the state governor,
Murtala Nyako, following a report by a 7-man
investigative committee that probed allegations of
gross misconduct and financial impropriety against
him.
The report, which was read by the State Assembly
Speaker Umaru Fintiri on the floor of the House,
found the governor guilty of all the 16 allegations
of gross misconduct. 18 out of the 24 members of
the State Assembly then signed a resolution
removing the governor.

The House then passed a motion that the Speaker,
Umaru Fintiri, should be sworn in as the state’s
acting governor. According to reports, that will be
done by 4pm today.
Meanwhile, the state Deputy Governor who was
also investigated by the panel, had resigned his
position earlier in the day in a letter he sent to the
House of Assembly which was read by members
and immediately approved.
