President Goodluck Jonathan has reportedly given conditions that will help save the embattled governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako from an impending impeachment by legislators in his state.
Jonathan was said to have given these conditions on Monday night, when two former heads of state took Nyako to meet with the president to plead on his behalf so that he will be saved from being disgraced out of office.
The two former leaders, who were in Abuja ahead of the Council of States meeting, which took place yesterday, reportedly drew the President’s attention to the heightening ethno-religious tension that was building in Adamawa as a result of the impeachment move, adding that nothing should be done to escalate the violence in the region.
According to Vanguard report, their efforts to save the governor did not yield any fruitful result as Jonathan was said to have told them he had no hand in the move to impeach the governor.
According to a source close to the president, Jonathan scolded Nyako for insulting him in an offensive letter which he wrote wrote to the northern governors forum early this year, accusing the president of committing genocide in the north in the name of fighting Boko Haram.
