Members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly have said there is no going back on the effort to remove the state governor, Alhaji Tanko Al-Makura. The state legislators said they would not enter into any negotiation over the impeachment notice already served on the governor. They also said they would embark on a protest in Lafia, the state capital, on Monday (today) against interference by traditional rulers in the state.
Traditional rulers in Lafia, including the Emir of Lafia, Alhaji Mustapa Agwai, had on Thursday promised to initiate a peace move between the governor and the lawmakers. But the Chairman of the House Committee on Information and Security, Mr. Baba Ibaku, representing Udege/Loko Constituency, said that the impeachment procedure was still on course.
“We have started this. We cannot go back, no matter the involvement of the chairman of traditional rulers,” Ibaku said.
