Nassarawa State lawmakers have vowed to go ahead with impeachment proceedings against governor Tanko Al-makura despite the protest in the state

The chairman, House Committee on Information of the State House of Assembly, Mr Mohammed Ibaku, told reporters in Abuja on Sunday that the lawmakers would pursue the impeachment notice served on the governor for alleged embezzlement of funds.

It was an unusual news conference, with 16 lawmakers from the State House addressing a news conference on the impeachment process that they had started.Standing under a tree at a popular hotel in Abuja, the chairman, House Committee on Information, flanked by other legislators, reeled out the offences of the governor and efforts made to serve him personally with the notice of impeachment.

Ibaku said the governor had been served with the notice of impeachment through the media, having evaded service and that the Chief Judge of the state would soon be directed to constitute an investigative panel.

The lawmakers are insisting that “the constitution permits the House of Assembly to serve an impeachment notice through the media and that if the governor fails to respond, appropriate actions would be taken”.

But in a swift reaction, the senior Special Adviser to the State Governor on Public Affairs, Abduhameed Kwarra, debunked the claims of the legislators, insisting that “the governor is always available but has not been served with any notice of impeachment”.
