Following the impeachment of the Adamawa state governor, Murtala Nyako, the Adamawa state House of Assembly also passed a motion that Speaker of the house, Umaru Fintiri should be sworn in as the state’s acting governor.

According to Premium Times, seventeen of the 25 members of the Assembly adopted the report of an investigative panel that probed allegations of financial misconducts against him.

The report, which was endorsed by all members of the panel, found the governor guilty of all the 16 allegations of gross misconduct leveled against him by the House.

The motion for the governor’s impeachment was moved by Jerry Kumdisi, the member representing Gombi state constituency and was seconded by Kwamoti Laori, the Deputy speaker of the Assembly and member, representing Numan constituency.

All the 18 members present at the meeting signed the resolution removing the governor.

Earlier, the state Deputy Governor, Bala Ngilari, resigned from office to avoid being impeached.
