Adamawa State Speaker, Umar Fintiri Served Impeachment Notice

Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Umar Fintir has been served with an impeachment notice by the lawmakers of the assembly.

The Speaker who was recently sacked as the acting governor of the state by an Abuja High Court, was reportedly served the impeachment notice on Tuesday.

Abusidiqu had reported earlier that no less than 17 members of the assembly are currently pressing for Fintiri’s removal, saying that the speaker may be shown the way out sooner than expected as the legislators could no more vouch for his integrity.

Fintiri who returned to the House to reclaim his position as Speaker is poised for a fight to get back to the position of acting governor by removing the newly sworn-in governor, Bala Ngilari.

He filed a suit on Thursday at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, asking it to sack Ngilari and install him.

He claimed that Justice Adeniyi Ademola erred in law when he held that the former Deputy Governor (now Governor), James Bala Ngilari did not resign in accordance with constitutional provision.
