The lawmakers have moved to impeach the governor, Tanko Al-Makura

The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has directed the state Chief Judge, Suleiman Dikko, to set up a panel to investigate Governor Tanko Al-Makura, accused by lawmakers of committing impeachable offences.

State lawmakers launched impeachment proceedings against the governor last week, accusing him of 16 offences.

A seven-man panel to be named by the chief judge will examine the charges.

The directive to the chief judge was issued by the speaker of the state assembly, Musa Mohammed, (PDP – Nasarawa Central), after a motion moved by the majority leader Godiya Akwashiki (PDP), representing Nasarawa Eggon West constituency.

The motion, which was supported by Mohammed Baba Ibaku (PDP), representing Udege Loko constituency, was unanimously adopted by the 20 PDP
lawmakers in the state assembly.

The motion was however rejected by all four All Progressives Congress, APC, lawmakers in the house.

The investigative committee is expected to report to the House within seven days.

For months, Mr. Al-Makura, who is a member of the APC, has been embroiled in controversy with the PDP-led state assembly.

The lawmakers moved against the governor after the impeachment of the governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, last Tuesday.

The opposition APC accuses the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan of being behind the gale of impeachments against its governors, allegation the ruling party rejects.

On Wednesday, the Nasarawa lawmakers arrived at the assembly with heavy security around 6.30am, and began sitting at about 10am for about 15 minutes before departing to Abuja.

It's all over.

Tanko Al-makura is a goner then...

LOL!!!

I can wait to hear that Almakura and Nyako are prison mates in either Kuje or Calabar Maximum prison.

Let the game begin.
One thing they must know is that, they can't destroy d apc by impeaching their govnors. Apc is a party built on idealogy; and you can't kill an idea. That which does not kill you can only make u stronger.
God bless d APC!
God bless Nigeria!

Which ideology are you talking about?APC's Manifesto is a plagiarised manifesto(Okupe 2013). APC is a product of supporter of APC Ideology-Olisa Metuh

APC is a goner in Nasarawa state. Edo state is next in line. And please let them conduct fresh governors forum election let me see how Amaechi will come and talk.

politics aside this is just a mere allegation,almakura if truelly ur hands are clean go and defend urself. we all know in nigeria no political office holders are saint but u will steal with care where oppossision domonate the legislasure.

Seven days for the committee to do its work when the Constitution said three months?.They have lost already

The script-writers of these impeachments saga must tread softly.
What goes up must come down. Obj during his time did not pretend, as he enjoyed throwing out perceived 'enemy' governors.
But when his nemesis 'Third term' came, he became a totally-confused man and all his shenanigans led Nigeria to where we are today.
Those who fail to learn from history must step on their own banana peels too.
The cow thief, chasing pigeon pickpockets!

It's a happy day... When a supporter of APC departs

it is upon this premise that apc is going to hinge their case on the impeachment in d court.

Decibel: All in all Almakura Must Go!!

be objective and dont let sentiment to becloud u. U dont support a shabby process because it favors u.

Biodup: politics aside this is just a mere allegation, almakura if truelly ur hands are clean go and defend urself. we all know in nigeria no political office holders are saint but u will steal with care where oppossision domonate the legislasure.

he shall do this and be absolved of all the charges. He did same thing when he was asked by committee of inquiry to appear before it over the arago/ombatse crisis rocking nassarawa last time and he was cleared of all charges. You knw it is not every govnos that can show such humility by appearing b4 a committee. And the 16 impeachable offenses are yet to be made public.

I made have been making this assertion but this Jonathanians are always so daft to think of the future. This might just be an end game by the north and APC. By the time 2 apc govs are lost to impeachment, jonathan would have no moral right to accuse apc/north of deperation for power if an impeachment notice is issued against him.The public sympathy he would have gotten wpuld have been lost. Even hard general Obasanjo was wise enough to know where to draw the line. Some people will argue that pdp are the majority in the house of assembly forgetting that it takes just 1 swoop for that to turn around just as it happened before. The speaker is not even pro-jonathan.we are watching closely.

let's wait and see.

When he junkets with his "deceives" throughout the country making mockery of the president, little did he know that his people would this day make caricature of his expeditions.

They played around the old man Bamanga Tukur but the game changer, Adamu Muazu of the PDP is here to fix their _fuck up.
