Jonathan Behind Nyako's Impeachment-- APC

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has vowed to challenge in court, Tuesday's impeachment of Murtala Nyako as governor of Adamawa State.

The Party accuses President Goodluck Jonathan of being behind the action of the state's lawmakers and also of being the architect of last Monday's impeachment notice served on Governor Umaru Al Makura of Nasarawa State.

The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, at a press conference in Abuja yesterday, alleged that the President offered each member of the Adamawa State House of Assembly $300,000 as part payment to impeach Nyako.

He also alleged that "some N500 million has been moved to Nasarawa to induce the state's lawmakers to impeach Governor Al Makura just as he said that in Edo State, each lawmaker had allegedly been offered N75 million to impeach Governor Adams Oshiomhole.

He said President Goodluck Jonathan's action against the governors was because of their membership of the opposition party, warning that if the President was not called to order, the hope of sustaining the country's fragile democracy would be dashed.
