The Adamawa State House of Assembly, which, Wednesday, served the duo of Governor Murtala Nyako and Deputy Governor Bala Ngilari with impeachment notices, is accusing the duo of gross misconduct.
The State Assembly said the executives fraudulently diverted N10 billon of workers’ salaries ...for September and October, 2011; N120 million of Adamawa state workers’ emolument for May, 2014; N1.7 billion for Special Assistants; and N8 billion for fictitious contract.
The impeachment notice, signed by 19 of the 25 state lawmakers, listed 20 impeachable offenses against Messrs. Nyako and Ngilari.The House had earlier given the government a week notice to reverse the deductions made from the workers pay, but sources said the governor not only ignored the Assembly, but went ahead to authorize further deductions from last month’s pay.
Reading the impeachment notice on Wednesday, the Speaker, Umar Fintiri, said the notice of impeachment is an exercise of the powers vested on the Assembly by section 188 (1)-(9) of the Nigerian 1999 constitution as amended.
On his part, Mr. Nyako’s deputy, Mr. Ngilari, is accused of extra-budgetary expenditure of over N390 million as overhead cost from January 2013 to December 2013 among other allegations.The lawmakers say the expenditure contravenes section121 (4) (a) and (b) of the constitution.
Nineteen of the 25 members of the Assembly also signed the deputy governor’s impeachment notice.
