Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State has been impeached by the state house of assembly, putting an end to weeks of intense politicking over the fate of the governor.
His deputy, Bala Ngilari, who was also probed, resigned on Tuesday before the impeachment proceedings against the governor began.
With Nyako’s impeachment and Ngilari’s resignation, the speaker, Alhaji Umaru Fintiri, is now the acting governor.
A new election will be organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) within 90 days in order to produce a substantive governor.
