After last Tuesday’s impeachment of his predecessor, Mohammed T. Gammunu, the Niger State House of Assembly again impeached its new Speaker, Mr. Isah Kawo.
The motion for impeachment was moved by Mr. Andrew Doma who represents Shiroro Constituency, with the support of another lawmaker representing Magama Constituency, Mr. Abass Wazire.
A vote of no confidence was passed by the assembly on Mr. Kawo by almost all the members of the State House of Assembly, with only 3 lawmakers against his impeachment.
The latest impeachment saw the reinstatement of the former Speaker Kawo, who was impeached only last Tuesday. Abdulrahman Gambo was also installed as Deputy Speaker, and Mr. Yusuf Kure as Majority Leader alongside Alhaji Nazeer Abdullahi, as the Chief Whip.
The former Speaker Gamunu, had on Monday, dragged the then-newly elected Speaker of the Assembly, Isa Kawu and 19 others before a Minna High Court, seeking to restrain the new speaker from performing the duties of the office pending the determination of the case.
