About N1.5billion was spent to remove Murtala Nyako as governor of Adamawa State, The Nation has learnt.
The cash was used to induce some stakeholders to ensure the impeachment of the ex-governor.
The ripples over the impeachment have continued, with some members of the Assembly unsure of second
term tickets.
Nyako was impeached on July 15 by the House of Assembly, following the adoption of the report of a seven-
man panel raised by a former acting Chief Judge Justice Ambrose Mammadi.
He was impeached by 18 of the 25 members of the Assembly after considering the report of Buba Kajama
Investigative Panel which found Nyako guilty of 16 of the 20 allegations against him.
Barely four months after, it has been revealed that about N1.5billion was shared to some stakeholders by
some forces from Abuja to effect Nyako’s removal.
But some lawmakers shunned the cash splash on ethical grounds.
A source, who was privy to the plot, said: “As much as N1.5billion was spent by the forces behind Nyako’s
impeachment in July to effect a change in the state. They were just angry with Nyako and got rid of him.
“Some stakeholders in the state benefited from the funds raised for Nyako’s ousters. The records are there
and at the appropriate time, they will be exposed.
“The impeachment brought Umaru Fintiri as the Acting Governor. But the same Abuja forces plotted against
Fintiri when he hijacked the primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to secure the governorship
ticket of the party for next year’s poll.
“Fintiri failed to act the script handed over to him by the anti-Nyako forces. When Fintiri fell out of favour
with the forces from Abuja, they used the legal process to also sack him too.
“They teamed up with Governor Bala Ngilari who had a ‘reasonable safe case’ in the court to be used
against Fintiri. This was how Governor Bala Ngilari benefited from the conspiracy in Adamawa.”
Investigation however revealed that the same forces were unhappy that Ngilari was under temptation to
renege on the agreement he reached with them before assuming office.
Another source added: “Before the Abuja forces supported Ngilari, there was a mutual agreement that he
would only seek a senatorial ticket in 2015.
“Now, Ngilari is being pushed to breach the agreement by obtaining the governorship nomination form. This
is why the All Progressives Congress (APC) may win the governorship election if Ngilari is made the PDP
candidate.”
Meanwhile, there were indications yesterday that some members of the House of Assembly may not be given
the second term ticket for their role in the impeachment of Nyako.
A party source said: “Some of these lawmakers took the party for granted before they could be part of the
plot. We knew what they did and we will not give them second term ticket.
“Even their constituents are up in arms against them, that the lawmakers will not return in 2015. They are
busy begging the party but they cannot be forgiven at all.” thenationonlineng.net/new/nyakos-impeachment-plot-cost-n1-5b/

Who are these Abuja forces?

Just picture what N1.5b could have done if put into security uses.
Imagine the revolution if it was for agricultural development.
Just think of relieve people will get if those monies were invested in health and education...
But they choose to use it just to unseat a governor because of a parochial interest?
Any wonder 9ja is in shambles?

Nyako is the cheapest govnor ever. How can jst 1.5billion b used to oust a sitting govnor? Nyako is a weak man, indeed.
The lawmakers shld know that what nyako highlighted in his open letter to gej , and which led to them(lawmakers) teaming up with gej against their own brother who was feeling the heat of insurgency, crave for a solution to the menace and had to voice out to the world for all to knw that gej is not ready to end boko haram and he's bent on destroying d north- is here. The real heat nyako talked about is here! Insurgents are now taking over adamawa. The lawmakers shld wait till boko haram get to yola and probably get to d house of assembly, then , they can get what nyako was saying.
Support gej at ur own peril!
