Kaduna assembly removes majority leader

The Kaduna house of assembly has impeached Mohammed Inuwa, its majority leader.

Inuwa, who represents Doka/Gabasawa constituency, was removed on Wednesday.

The decision followed the passage of a vote of no confidence in him by members of the assembly.

According to NAN, 17 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) signed the impeachment letter.

Speaking with journalists shortly after the plenary, Tanimu Musa, chairman of house committee on information, said the vote of no confidence was unanimous.

“Therefore, Mabo remain impeached and the house will soon announce the new majority leader,” he said.

On Tuesday, the Nasarawa house of assembly had suspended Luka Zhekaba, its deputy minority leader, over his alleged involvement in the fake employment of 38 secondary school teachers in the state.

Zhekaba was suspended after the house deliberated on a report on the recruitment of 366 teachers and 38 fake teachers found on the payroll of the state’s civil service.

An ad-hoc committee was also set up to investigate his alleged involvement in the fake employment of the teachers.
