The Speaker of Jigawa State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Haruna Aliyu Dangyatin has escaped impeachment by aggrieved members of the assembly on Tuesday as security operatives were drafted to condone the promises of the assembly.to avoid breakdown of law and order
The spokesman of the Jigawa state police command, DSP Lawan Shiihu Adam confirmed presence of police personnel who took over the premises.
Those who plotted the impeachment attempted seized the absence of the speaker while he accompanied the Jigaea State Governor, Alhaji Umar Namadi to Saudi Arabia on official trip.
There reports that the governor and the speaker got wind of the plan which compelled the speaker to suspend his trip and and catch a flight back home to thwart the efforts of his colleagues.
While the return of the speaker thwarted the plot, it was not clear as to why the seat of the speaker is being threatened, but might not be unconnected to power struggle between gladiators of the House.
There were insinuations that “the grand plot against Rt. Hon. Dangyatin was designed to pave way for the member representing Dutse constituency, Hon. Tasiu Soja as possible replacement”.
The development may lead to some political and leadership changes in the assembly as the loyalty of some members to the house leadership is now suspect.
