In a statement by APC Governors’ Forum chairman, Imo State Governor
Rochas Okorocha, signed by his Media adviser Sam Onwuemeodo, the
governors said: “Following the report that the Governor of Adamawa
State, Alhaji Murtala Nyako, has been served impeachment notice by the
House of Assembly, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
governors’ Forum and the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha,
has called on the leadership and members of the Adamawa State House of
Assembly to drop the impeachment move in the interest of the peace of
the nation.
“Governor Okorocha also advised the President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, to intervene in the matter and see that the impeachment move against the Adamawa State Governor is brought to a halt, adding that with the horrible security situation in the country at the moment, it would smack of insensitivity for anybody to be talking about impeachment of a sitting governor.
“The APC governors’ Forum Chairman equally 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 effort could launch the state into.
“The Imo State governor opined that the energy that would be spent on the impeachment exercise could be expended on the effort to recover the Chibok girls from their abductors that have held them hostage for months now. “According to the APC governors’ forum chairman, the outside world would not take the country serious if in the midst of all these security challenges across the nation, we would be talking about impeaching a governor.
“He called on all those concerned to allow peace reign by forgetting about the impeachment move against the Adamawa state governor.”
