APC: GEJ desperate, behind Nyako’s removal.
THE opposition All Progressives Congress has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of masterminding the removal of ex-Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State.
The APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, called a press conference on Wednesday in Abuja, where he accused the President of clamping down on opposition in his desire for re-election in 2015.
Odigie-Oyegun said, “Having bastardised the army, the police, the courts, aviation and the electoral commission, he has now moved to the next level: impeachment. Every impeachment or threat of it in recent times has the imprint of President Jonathan.
“As we speak, the Governor of Adamawa, Murtala Nyako, has been impeached at the instance of the President and his party; they have moved to Nasarawa, their next stop, while Rivers, Edo and Borno, all APC states, are not being spared the destabilisation that precedes their new-found weapon.“What was Nyako impeached for? Offences he allegedly committed five years ago. Those offences were not impeachable when he was in the Peoples Democratic Party. But the moment he defected to the APC, they became impeachable.”Continue..

Thank You Adamawa, Can Tambuwal Stand And Remain Standing?
By Adekoya Boladale
Call it whatever you want; Impunity, oppression, machiavellinic, witch-hunting, unfair, bias. The event of Tuesday, July 15, 2014 in Adamawa state where the Governor (now former) Murtala Nyako was impeached is nothing other than the display of the principle of Checks and balances. The ‘honourable’ members of the state house of assembly beyond doubt are constitutionally empowered through section 188 Chapter 6 of the 1999 constitution, as amended, for such exercise and the clumsy statements by some ‘affected’ individuals are nothing short of crying over split milk.
