Zamfara state Deputy Governor, Alhaji Mahdi Aliyu Gusau has served with impeachment notice by the State House of Assembly.
The chairman of the House Standing Committee on Information, Hon. Shamsu Haske, while addressing newsmen in Gusau, said the deputy speaker submitted a notice to the speaker for the impeachment of Gusau.
He said already two-thirds of the members had signed the notice for the removal of the deputy governor.
“His Excellency, the deputy governor in the person of Barr. Mahadi Aliyu Gusau under the provisions of Section 128 and 129 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) mischievously approached the Federal High Court in Abuja alleging that this House is in the process of impeaching him,” Haske said.
He added that the Assembly earlier invited the Deputy Governor on some vital issues regarding his official functions but he rushed to court and secured an order urging the parties to maintain the status quo.
Haske said the court in its wisdom ordered the parties to maintain the status quo.
The lawmaker, however, said the order has expired and therefore the Assembly as an independent body ought to discharge its responsibility.
