Botched Impeachment Has Made Al-Makura More Popular – APC Chieftains
— Aug 11, 2014
The botched attempt by the Nasarawa State House of Assembly
(NSHA) to impeach Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura has made him more
popular with the public seeing the move as an attempt by the political
class to return the state to its former position of widespread poverty,
underdevelopment and inertia.
This was the unanimous position of chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who in their separate submissions noted that the mass spontaneous rejection of the impeachment attempt by the lawmakers is an attestation to the fact that the electorate in the state are resolute to defend the wind of change they ushered in in 2011.
Alhaji Abubakar Gada Mohammed, an APC chieftain from Keffi, stressed that the impeachment move has provided a common ground for unity among the electorate, hence the inability of the members to stay anywhere in the state while the saga lasted.
He said, “The lawmakers have shot themselves in the foot and mobilised public support for Al-Makura and I can assure that the masses would not allow anyone to sacrifice their collective aspiration on the altar of selfish political power play”.
On his part, Alhaji Abubakar Usman Sandaji, Turakin Lafia, said it is now a lose all situation for the PDP, adding that come 2015, the electorate would vent their disapproval by voting the PDP out of the Assembly.
“I can assure you that the people of Nasarawa State now know who their real enemies are and come 2015, they will get full retribution for their attempt to toy with the destiny of the Nasarawa people,” he said.
Alhaji Mustapha Galadima, from Doma local government area, is of the view that the impeachment move was a political blunder by the Assembly members who were blinded by their thirst for power not to recognise that the wishes of the electorate are of cardinal importace in changing a government theysuffered to bring on board.
Describing the move as a failed democratic coup, he noted that the execution of the coup plotters would be carried out by the electorate at the polls come 2015.
