Information available to 247ureports.com indicates the impeachment saga taking hold of Nasarawa State continues to turn new corner as the impeachment 7-member panel seat for hearing into the impeachment grounds enumerated by the members of the Nasarawa State legislators. New information obtained from the State governor, Malam Tanko Al Makura points to the former governor of Nasarawa State, Malam Aliyu Doma as the mastermind behind his impeachment, and not the president of the federal republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
The embattled governor of Nasarawa State, Malam Tanko Al Makura made the statement publicly today [Tuesday] in Lafia, the State Capital as he addressed a group of supporters who had come to pay him sallah homage at the presidential lodge. In his statement, he pointed direct blame to the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] in Nasarawa and the Chairman of the PDP in Nasarawa State, Yunana Iliya. He extricated the name of the President of the federation away from the impeachment citing that he had held a meeting with the President and that the President had assured him of his innocence.
In talking with the PDP chairman of the State, he was quick to toss the allegation by the Governor as the allegations of a drowning man. He told 247ureports.com that he was not the one responsible for stealing Nasarawa State money. He went to add that he was to be blamed “because I asked him to steal the government money of the state“.
Governor Tanko Al Makura has been accused of stealing N4billion of Nasarawa State funds through the Universal Basic Education Board.
