Alhaji Abdullahi Yusuf Ata |
The speaker of the Kano state House of Assembly, Alhaji Abdullahi Yusuf Ata, has been impeached. According to reports, the speaker was impeached on Monday, July 30, alongside two other principal officers. News gathered that the impeachment plan was hatched after the 40-member Assembly resumed from its two-month recess.
The member representing the Warawa Constituency, Labaran Madari, raised the impeachment motion, which was seconded by the lone member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Abdullahi Muhammed.
The vote to impeach the speaker was secretly carried out on Sunday night, May 13. A source blamed incompetence as the reason Ata was about to be impeached by other lawmakers. "The reasons are many but the major one is incompetency. The speaker has completely localised the house. We cannot sit until after 2pm and even at that, things are not moving as expected. We cannot just continue like that because we are representing our constituents," the source added.

Benue Assembly - Eight (8) APC Lawmakers set to Impeach Gov. Ortom after Defecting to PDP by Itumo Ndubuisi
The impeachment notice said to have been served Gov. Samuel Ortom of Benue state by eight(8) members out of the thirty(30) members of the State's House of Assembly is indeed laughable and by all judgement a kangaroo move!
The impeached Speaker, Hon. Terkimbi Ikyange was said to be the ringleader of those behind this plot. Hon. Ikyange who was impeached for two solid reasons which are:His being in the minority which is tenable by all implications that a minority can never lord powers over the majority and secondly for his abysmal failure in carrying along other law makers in the Assembly's legislative business.
The impeachment took place days before Gov. Ortom defected from APC to
PDP and consequent upon that a new Police Commissioner was drafted into
the state leading to the denial of entry to the 22 PDP law makers into
the Assembly premises last week. The barricade made them hold their
plenary session in the Executive Council chambers. Just this
afternoon the minority group led by Hon. Ikyange reconvened and served
an impeachment notice to the executive Governor. In view of the
foregoing, it's now bare that the impeachment move is very laughable and
incongruous judging from the fact that the Court had before now
restrained them from taking such an unrewarding action. It's also
laughable as eight members against twenty two members by a simple
mathematical knowledge shows that they can never form a quorum.From
sources close to the Assembly, I learnt that the plenary was adjourned
till August only for the eight to reconvene this afternoon for such a
shameful outing. I was also intimated of the fact that the so called
reconvention was done in the absence of the MACE. This actually shows
that Nigerian politics is a stage composed of a lot of dramatic displays
where each dramatis personae comes on stage to display; at times very
hilarious act.
We are still gauging the political temperature...

Governor David Nweze Umahi is presently in China as Ebonyians expect an Airport soonest! He's attending Nigeria _ China business investment Forum at Shanghai aimed at the proper utilization of the comparative advantages existing between the two countries with the sole aim of forging a common front towards growing robust and prosperous economies.
Governor Umahi who loves going the whole hog towards ensuring all-round development of the State, as part of his Chinese trip has already signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Ebonyi state and Foshan Sunchees for the establishment of a solar company in one of the Rice Milling Industrial Clusters in the State.
He has reached a pact with an Irish Company to establish an Agricultural equipment Manufacturing Company.
Also part of the outcome of his Chinese visit is the impending establishment of an exquisite AIRPORT and Cement factories in our own Ebonyi state.
The above are tips of the iceberg of the beautiful prospects which Umahi's visit to China presents before us. More are to reel out as his stay lasts therein.

After the match, she was her effusive self, giving hugs to players from both sides and sharing light moments with France president Macron, who was on the verge of exploding with joy.
She is also a multi-linguist, fluent in Croatian, English, Spanish and Portuguese, and also understands German, French and Italian. The world sure needs more leaders like her.
