Impeached Zamfara Assembly Speaker Presides Over Plenary With 8 Lawmakers

The impeached Speaker of the Zamfara State House of Assembly, Bilyaminu Ismail, amid tight security on Monday, presided over a plenary session with only eight members.

Osun Defender reports that seventeen lawmakers impeached Ismail and elected Bashar Aliyu Gummi as the new Speaker on Friday, February 23, 2034, citing insecurity as their reason.

The Assembly, after impeaching Ismail, thereafter adjourned indefinitely.

The lawmakers who were present at Monday’s extraordinary plenary described the actions of the majority of their colleagues as unlawful and illegal.

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.

The eight lawmakers are also accusing the 17 members of the House of Assembly of receiving money from saboteurs to carry out the impeachment, which they described as unlawful.
