Bala Ngilari, Deputy Governor of Adamawa state who was said to have resigned yesterday has issued a statement claiming that he did not resign, THIS DAY reported.
The deputy governor's resignation letter was allegedly received by the Adamawa state house of assembly shortly before Murtala Nyako was impeached as Governor.
A statement issued by the office of the Deputy Governor read, "Our attention has been drawn to the purported resignation of the Deputy Governor of Adamawa State Barr Bala James Ngillari which was supposedly read on the floor of the State House of Assembly. We wish to state categorically that Section 306 (5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as Amended requires that the Deputy Governor resigns not to the House of Assembly but to the Governor. As at the time the supposed resignation was said to have been tendered in the House, Murtala H. Nyako was the Governor of Adamawa State. No such letter was written to him, none was received by him and none was approved by him. It should therefore be known that in the eyes of the Law that the Deputy Governor has not resigned.
"Barr Bala James Ngillari is still the Deputy Governor of Adamawa State. This clarification is necessary to avert another subversion of the Constitution since the other processes relating to the impeachment saga have all been in contravention of the Constitution and the Law.
We wish to observe that continued abuse of the constitution and the laws of the land may spell doom for our democracy."
