The executive governor of Aadamwa state who has been struggling to avoid the whip from the lawmakers have been impeached on Tuesday by the State House of Assembly.
His deputy, Bala Ngilari who was also probed along with the governor resigned his appointment before the announcement of Nyako’s impeachment, giving room to the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Umaru Fintiri to be sworn in as the new acting governor of the state.
The Independent Electoral Commission, INEC is to conduct a new election within 90 days to enable a substantial governor continue.
The seven man committee sat and indicted Nyako who seem helpless and refused to defend himself.
Governor Nyako has done everything possible to avoid the impeachment, including declaration of 7 days fasting and playing to the gallery of the aggrieved members.
The presidency promised to intervene on a condition that he apologized publicly over his genocide letter he wrote to the northern elders against President Jonathan which he bluntly refused.
Some elders in Adamawa who alleged to have made the Nyako governor revealed that the embattled governor had bitten more than he could chew as he bit the hands of those that fed him.
Nyako planned to appoint new CJ who could clear his allegations failed when the court declared that panel was not constitutionally required to be inaugurated.
Some of the sins committed by Nyako include alleged diversion of N2.3 billion belonging to workers for the month of September and October in 2011 and for illegaly deducting and siphoning N142 million belonging to workers in May 2014, among several others.
