Impeachment Notice On Nyako: Hold Presidency responsible —Tsav

A FORMER Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, has said that the Presidency was behind the impeachment notice given to Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, noting that the present administration now operates like a military government.

He also said that the closure of Yola airport yesterday, was done to ensure that the state governor remained in the state so as to serve him the notice.

Tsav in a statement regretted that Nyako had been excluded from different meetings convened by the Federal Government on the security situation in that part of the country, while other governors whose states are under emergency rule were invited.

His words: “The purported service of impeachment notice on Governor Nyako and his deputy, from all indication, shows that the Federal Government has hands in the saga.

“Firstly, Nyako was not invited for meeting of ‘save school initiative’ in Abuja with former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, while his Borno and Yobe counterparts whose states are also under emergency rule were invited.

“Secondly, Yola airport was deliberately closed yesterday to prevent Nyako from travelling in order to facilitate the service of impeachment notice on him. This constitutes wrongful confinement, intimidation and act of indignation to a democratically elected governor and could be  invitation to chaos.

“All airports in Nigeria are under  Federal Government. No one can close any airport in Nigeria without the consent or authorisation of the President. We see the hands of the President  in this saga. He has become an emperor with military powers.”
