  • Zamfara state governor, Dauda Lawal has been out of the state for the past week.

Hon. Bilyaminu Moriki, the Zamfara State House of Assembly Speaker has been impeached by 18 of 24 lawmakers.

However, the lawmakers ratified Hon. Bashar Gummi as the pro-tempore Speaker.

Within Nigeria understands that at an emergency meeting on Thursday night, the 18 of the 24 members had unanimously decided to impeach the Speaker.

The lawmakers argued that the revival of insecurity brought about by the bandits’ ongoing attacks on towns around the state was the reason behind the Speaker’s impeachment.

It further learnt that the impeached Speaker was out of the state for some days before his ousting.

According to Hon. Shamsudeen Basko representing Talata Mafara, the lawmakers have told the new Speaker that the issue of insecurity was one of the key issues to be given top priority, which led to the impeachment of the former Speaker.

“I have two issues but an observation was made on one, which is that of insecurity, which has been disturbing Zamfara residents, some are being killed and abducted,” he added.

“We need to stand up and do something to defend our people because the armed bandits are invading local government headquarters unchallenged.

“Let us call on the government to act now to protect our people.”

Meanwhile, Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, is currently out of the state.
