Al-makura’s impeachment: Nassarawa assembly orders Chief Judge to set up investigative panel via @iKanzee_RR

Nasarawa State House of Assembly has
ordered the state’s Chief Judge, Suleiman
Dikko, to constitute a panel to investigate
Governor Tanko Al-Makura as 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.
