UDEGE – Sen. Abdullahi Adamu (APC Nasarawa State) on Tuesday advised the members of the state assembly against abuse of legislative power in the interest of peace.
Adamu, who represents Nasarawa West senatorial district, gave the advice while addressing the people of Udeni Magaji community in Udege Development Area of the state.
“I want to use this medium to comment on the impeachment notice served on Gov. Umaru Al-Makura by members of the House of Assembly and to advise them against abuse of legislative power.
“Iam not saying that they don’t have the constitutional power to impeach the governor, but the processes have been abused by them.
“I urged them to have a rethink on the impeachment in the interest of peace and development of the state.
“Everybody in the state could testify that the governor has done his best and is still doing his best to improve on the living condition of the people.
“His administration has touched the lives of the people of the state positively,’’ he said.
