Situation in Adamawa state have it that 17 of the 25 members of the Adamawa State House of Assembly are set to impeach the sacked Acting Governor and Speaker, Hon, Umaru Fintiri. The plot to impeach Fintiri was initiated at the weekend following his removal from office as acting governor by the Federal High Court, Abuja, which ordered the immediate swearing-in of the former Deputy Governor, Bala Ngilari as the substantive governor.
The lawmakers, who held a closed-door meeting in a hotel in Yola, the state capital on Thursday, resolved to impeach Fintiri as Speaker. The plot could not be carried out because the Speaker was absent at the session as he traveled with Governor Ngilari to Abuja. Consequently, the lawmakers, who have signed the impeachment notice, adjourned session and slated the exercise for today.
