Following the report that Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, is on the verge of being served an impeachment notice by the state House of Assembly, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governors’ Forum and Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has urged the lawmakers to drop the impeachment move in the interest of the nation.
Governor Okorocha also advised President Goodluck Jonathan to intervene in the matter and ensure discontinuation of the impeachment move, adding that with the horrible security situation in the country, it would smack of insensitivity for anybody to impeach a sitting governor.
The APC Governors’ Forum chairman also urged the stakeholders in Adamawa State not to allow a state already having security challenges, to be driven into another round of crisis, which the impeachment move could cause.
He opined that the energy that would be spent on the impeachment exercise could be expended on rescuing the abducted Chibok girls, who have been held hostage for months now.
According to Okorocha, the outside world would not take the country seriously if in the midst of the security challenges across the nation, a state is talking about impeaching a governor.
He appealed to all those concerned to allow peace reign by forgetting about the impeachment move against the Adamawa State governor.
