Ousted governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, has expressed
satisfaction with the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja nullifying the
alleged his former deputy, Bala Ngilari.
The court ordered that Mr. Ngilari be sworn in to office to replace the acting
governor, Umar Fintiri.
In a statement by his media aide, Ahmad Sajoh, the former governor said the
judgement was “a further testimony that the entire process associated with his
purported impeachment saga had been just series of acts characterised by
extreme illegality and political brigandage.”
Mr. Nyako, who has been outside the country since his ouster from office, had
faulted the procedure of Mr. Ngilari resignation. He had said his erstwhile
deputy ought to have addressed his resignation letter to him (Nyako) and not
the Speaker of the House of Assembly.
The court faulted the procedure in the judgement and ordered that the former
deputy governor be sworn in.
“Buoyed by a system that promotes impunity and abuse of all legal and
constitutional procedures, the law makers in Adamawa State took it upon
themselves to abuse all known legal norms to enthrone a regime anchored on
illegalities,” Mr. Nyako said.
Noting that the judgement was the first step towards correcting the wrongs of
the House of Assembly, the statement said the governor was confident that the
Nigerian judiciary would further confirm the injustices associated with his
purported removal was done in a manner akin to coup d’tat.
The statement said, “We wish to observe that this is the first step in the
judicial process of correcting the wrongs of the Adamawa State House of
Assembly. We are confident that the Nigerian judiciary will further confirm
the injustices associated with the purported removal of Governor Murtala
Nyako which was done in a manner akin to a civilian coup d’état.
“The process of the reversal of all the series of illegalities connected with the
supposed impeachment saga has only just commenced and will continue until
it culminates with the return of Governor Nyako to Government House, Yola.”
The former governor congratulated Mr. Ngilari on the judgement and advised
him to take up the responsibilities of his new office with his famed patience
and humility.
“He should be mindful of the nature of Adamawa State as a diverse and plural
society and therefore rule the people with justice, fairness and the fear of
God,” the statement added.
“The new Governor is further advised to heal the deep wounds of mistrust and
mutual suspicion inflicted on the people of the state by the illegal government
of the Acting Governor.”
The former governor, whose tenure would have expired in May next year,
called on the people of Adamawa State “to remain calm, law abiding and to
extend all necessary support to the new leadership and to wish Barr Bala
Ngillari success and God’s guidance in his new assignment.
“We also call on the people to pray for the new Governor and the State so that
peace will be restored and the State returned to the path of progress, harmony
and peaceful co-existence.
“We equally wish to assure the good people of Adamawa State that God
willing, and in no too distant future, the Courts will return Admiral Murtala
Nyako as the Governor of Adamawa State.”
