For offering bribe to some members
of the Adamawa House of Assembly
and threatening the lives of others in
a botched attempt to save former
Governor Murtala Nyako from
impeachment, some national leaders
of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), including two governors, may
face arrest and prosecution.
According to a senior government
official in Abuja, who craved
anonymity, it was ironic for the same
APC politicians to blame President
Goodluck Jonathan for Nyako’s fate
in the hands of the state lawmakers.
The source said security agencies
have evidence of the alleged crimes of
the prominent politicians, bribing one
member of the Adamawa state
assembly and threatening the lives of
some others who refused to be
bribed.
According to the source, intelligence
report showed that the APC
governors, one from the north and the
other from the south, offered some of
the lawmakers as much as N250
million each as bribe to scuttle the
impeachment move against Nyako.
When the impeachment process
began, five of the 25 state lawmakers
were behind Nyako, while two had
travelled out of town, the government
official explained.
Although the governors were not
named, the source said they
succeeded in buying one lawmaker
over, while attempts were made to
buy more to boost the number of
lawmakers needed to stave off the
impeachment.
The failure of the party leaders to buy
over more lawmakers, allegedly
frustrated them into issuing death
threats to some of the lawmakers, the
source said, warning that would be
exposed if those involved continue to
malign President Jonathan as the
mastermind of Nyako’s
impeachment, they might be made to
face the full wrath of the law by
appropriate security agencies.
Continuing, the source said “it was
the assurance that they got from the
lawmaker that more members would
be bought over that gave birth to the
reports at that time that Nyako might
not resign.
“When it was clear to them that the
money might not do the magic, they
resorted to threats.
“They threatened some of the
lawmakers that they would be killed if
they did not collect the money and
stop the impeachment process.
“What they don’t know is that all
these are recorded. If they continue
with these their unfounded
allegations against the President, the
security agencies would be directed
to arrest them and confront them
with overwhelming evidence,” he
warned.
Nyako was impeached by the state
assembly a week and half ago, on
charges of gross misconduct and
misappropriation of state funds
which they refused to defend.
His deputy, Bala Ngilari, however
resigned hours before the lawmakers
took their final decision on him
