Former governor, Aliyu Akwe Doma alongside Information Minister, Labaran Maku, Senators Solomon Ewuga and Suleiman Adokwe are leading a crowd of supporters of the PDP to show solidarity to the 20 members of the party who are executing an impeachment move against Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura.
The party leaders reached Lafia as early as 9am, and were received by the state party chairman, Yunana Iliya, and his team of executive officers, supported by a large crowd of supporters who swam Jos Road where the party secretariat is located.
But they left the 20 PDP members of the state House of Assembly (NSHA) behind in Abuja, and the Clerk of the House, Mr. Ego Mai-Keffi received a letter of commendation from the leaders when they poured into the assembly complex along Shendam Road minutes ago.
The 20 members, had on July 14, passed an impeachment motion against Al-Makura, alleging gross misconduct. They have since then, relocated o Abuja, from where they visited the state capital once, and Karu where they sat for motions and resolutions on the impeachment process.
Chief Iliya, the party chairman in the state, handed the letter to Mai-Keffi, who promised to transmit same to the members.
Mohammed Baba Ibaku, House Committee Chairman on Information told Daily Trust on phone that the members are aware of the visit of the leaders to the assembly complex in solidarity with the members, but said “we are recess and are not around at the complex.”
He said the visit demonstrates that the signatories of the impeachment notice are not alone, saying it will put to end, media reports that the members have been abandoned by the party.
