The Niger State House of Assembly has impeached its Majority Leader, Suleiman Nasko and Deputy Majority Leader, Andrew Jagaba.
This followed the adoption of a motion by Ndagi Baba and seconded by Saidu Tama, representing Lavun and Edati constituency during Thursday’s plenary.
Speaking on the motion, Baba said the lawmakers had observed that the majority and deputy majority leaders were responsible for the slow movement of activities at the House, adding that the house under their leadership was not progressing.
But the Speaker, Abdullahi Wuse, said that he was not notified of the decision to impeach them which was contrary to the Standing Order of the House. Mohammed Haruna, moved that the order read by the Speaker be suspended and was seconded by Malik Madaki.
Meanwhile, Yabagi Akote nominated Abba Bala, as the new Majority Leader and was seconded by Suleiman Gambo, representing Gbako and Paikoro constituency.
However, Bashir Lokogoma, nominated Binta Mamman as the new Deputy Majority and was seconded by Malik Madaki.
