In a dramatic turn of events, the Zamfara State House of Assembly has been thrown into turmoil as 18 out of the 24 lawmakers have reportedly initiated moves to impeach the Speaker, Hon. Bilyaminu Moriki.
The development has led to heightened security measures at the assembly complex in Gusau, with heavily armed security operatives stationed at the entrance gate to forestall any potential chaos.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a member of the House disclosed to newsmen in a telephone interview that plans have been finalized to impeach the speaker.
The exact reasons behind the impeachment move have not been officially disclosed.
The seventh Zamfara State House of Assembly was inaugurated on June 13th, 2023, with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) having the majority of lawmakers in the House.
The unfolding situation has raised concerns about the stability of the legislative arm of government in the state.
