Kwankwaso mediates as plot to impeach Nyako thickens

Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso and his Adamawa counterpart, Murtala Nyako, Monday held a closed door meeting with members of Adamawa House of Assembly over alleged rift between the latter and state lawmakers.
Newsdiaryonline reports that the meeting held at the Presidential Lodge of Government House, in Yola, started around 1600hours and lasted for several hours.
It was gathered that meeting was to be attended by Governor Magatakarda Wammako of Sokoto but the plane that conveyed him could not land at Yola Airport due to rainstorm.

 

Adamawa lawmakers were led to the meeting by the Speaker, Alhaji Ahmadu Fintiri. He, however, refused to speak to newsmen at the end of the meeting, rushing to a waiting car which sped off,
Kwankwaso, who is believed to have spoke on the need to allow peace to reign, appealed to the lawmakers to drop plans of removing his colleague from office.
Queried on his mission in the Northeastern state, the Kano chief executive simply replied: “I am here to see my senior brother. We had some good discussions that are very much relevant to Kano and Adamawa states.”
Last week’s defection of the only three All Progressives Congress, APC, lawmakers in assembly to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has fuelled speculations that unless a miracle happens, it may only be a matter of time before Nyako is ousted.
It would be recalled that the trio of Kwankwaso, Wammako and Nyako, last year joined the APC, after dumping PDP, the platform that brought them to power.
