Murtala Nyako
Ousted governor of Adamawa State, Admiral Murtala Nyako (rtd) has expressed optimism that he will soon return as the state governor, adding that those who impeached him did not follow laid down procedures.
The ex-governor who has already filed an appeal at the Appeal Court against his impeachment, noted that he was illegally removed from seat.
Nyako in a statement on Sunday, by his media adviser, Mr. Sajoh Ahmed, said he was sure that the court would return him to office as the state lawmakers did not follow the laid down rules.
He recalled that since the Judiciary had in the past upturned the removal of governors Joshua Dariye of Plateau, Rashidi Ladoja of Oyo and Peter Obi of Anambra, it would not be difficult for him to be restored.
The former governor in the statement said he remained loyal to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He, however, debunked claims that he was supporting a certain PDP governorship aspirant for the forthcoming by-election, saying that his support remains with the APC at all times.
He said: “Anyone who supports a PDP candidate in the state has done so in exercise of his or her democratic rights as citizens but not as a result of a directive from Admiral Nyako or in support of his political position. “This clarification is necessary in order to debunk the rumour being peddled by some mischief makers in Adamawa State.”
