Governor Al-Makura’s impeachment: what Nigerians say

The process began when on Monday, July 14, the state legislators suddenly reconvened from their recess and passed a resolution on a 16-count charge to investigate Governor Almakura based on what they described as “gross misconduct” and “impeachable offences.
Nigerians have been watching as the ‘drama’ unfolded. Hence, they have used the social media to express their own views on the matter:

Kaltouma Bardi Hissein
It is also part of democracy

Benshak Dalop  
The panel is God’s design for either the governor or the Nasarawa house of assembly whichever way it goes, the panel is not a tool in the hands of the Legislators

Ade Bakare  
There is no constitutional provision for the House to reject the panel or call for its dissolution until it finishes its ‘business’.

Emmanuel George  
Is there any constitutional requirement for members of the panel? If not the lawmakers should allow the panel do their job. If the governor is not guilty, he should be commended and allowed to do his job. PDP should stop using impeachment to bullying opposition. A governor surrounded by opposition legislators should be exceptionally diligent and above board.
