Revealed: How N1.5b Was Used To Fund Nyako’s Impeachment

Nyako

          It has been revealed that about N1.5billion was shared to some stakeholders by some forces from Abuja to effect Nyako’s removal. The Nation reports.

The Nation claims that the cash was used to bribe some stakeholders to ensure the impeachment of the ex-governor.

It will be recalled that Nyako was impeached on July 15 by the House of Assembly, following the adoption of the report of a seven-man panel raised by a former acting Chief Judge Justice Ambrose Mammadi.

He was impeached by 18 of the 25 members of the Assembly after considering the report of Buba Kajama Investigative Panel which found Nyako guilty of 16 of the 20 allegations against him.


A source, who was privy to the plot told The Nation that, “As much as N1.5billion was spent by the forces behind Nyako’s impeachment in July to effect a change in the state. They were just angry with Nyako and got rid of him.

“Some stakeholders in the state benefited from the funds raised for Nyako’s ousters. The records are there and at the appropriate time, they will be exposed.

The Nation however reports that some lawmakers refused the bribe on ethical grounds.

Do you believe these allegations?
