ADAMAWA LATEST: Lawmakers Gang Up To Impeach Fintiri With Immediate Effect



Indications have emerged that 17 lawmakers of the Adamawa State House of Assembly were pressing for the removal of the embattled Speaker of the House of Assembly, Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri. It was alleged that the lawmakers were aggrieved because Fintiri never fulfilled his part of the agreement held prior to the impeachment of the former state Governor, Murtala Nyako, and the impromptu resignation of his deputy, Bala James Ngillari, now governor of the state to pave the way for him to rule the State.
Sources closed to the assembly revealed that the lawmakers are mobilising for the removal of the speaker in order to adhere to federal character principles as enshrined in the nation’s constitution. According to some PDP stakeholders and lawmakers who spoke in confidence with journalists in Yola, if the zoning principle in the party is to be adhered to, it is unconstitutional for the speaker and the governor to come from the same constituency.
They claimed that the removal of the speaker could be on the strength of the political crisis between the two politicians, so as to allow a peaceful administration reign in the state. It was further gathered that the embattled speaker could be impeached tomorrow when the lawmakers meet or asked to resign. Attempts made to reach the Chairman, Assembly Committee on Information and member representing Michika state constituency, Hon. Adamu Kamale, to comment on the development proved abortive as he said he was driving and promised to call back.
As at the time of sending this report, he did not call back. However, another source alleged that it would be difficult to impeach the embattle Speaker because all the principal lawmakers of the state assembly were behind him. The source added that they might frustrate the removal moves if there was any.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
