Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The impeached Speaker of the Zamfara State House of Assembly, Bilyaminu Ismail, on Monday presided over a plenary session with only eight members, amid tight security.<\/p>\n

On Friday, February 23, 2034, seventeen lawmakers impeached Ismail and elected Bashar Aliyu Gummi as the new Speaker.<\/p>\n

The Assembly was thereafter adjourned indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Gummi and the 17 lawmakers that elected him to replace Ismail were absent at Monday\u2019s proceedings.<\/p>\n

The lawmakers who were present at Monday\u2019s extraordinary plenary described the action of majority of their colleagues as unlawful and illegal.<\/p>\n

The Ismail-led faction is also requesting the suspension of the 17 lawmakers, saying that their action has a political undertone and had nothing to do with the issue of insecurity, as they had claimed.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the eight lawmakers are accusing the 17 members of the House of Assembly of receiving money from saboteurs to carry out the impeachment, which they described as unlawful.<\/p>\n
