Kano \u2014 Members of the Kano State House of Assembly have impeached the Speaker. 32 out of 40 members of the House in a spectacular moves impeached Yusuf Abdullahi Falgore for alleged lack of competent, coordination and inexperience on how to preside over the six months old legislative chamber that was said to have been fully controlled by the state governor, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.<\/p>\n
Former minority leader of the house who is not a member of the governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwsao Kwankawsiyya movement, Alhaji Gabo Salau was elected as the new speaker; he garnered 32 out of 40 votes.<\/p>\n
Earlier the member representing Gwale local government, Alhaji Yusuf Babangida had attempted to snatch the mace but was prevented by the forces that have perfected the impeachment.<\/p>\n
The house which initially came under the auspices of Kwankwasiyya movement, an umbrella movement of the state governor Dr Kwankwaso was said to have allowed the state Chief Executive to nominate their Speaker a situation that pave the way for Falgore to emerge as the Speaker.<\/p>\n
However according to report available to Daily Champion the house was not satisfied with the way the Speaker conducted the affairs of the legislative chamber which is alleged to have been stagnated and became more of a parastatal of the state ministry rather than an independent body that was saddled with the responsibility of check mating the action or inactions of the executive arm.<\/p>\n
Moving the motion for the impeachment, a member representing Bagwai Local Government, Alhaji Lawan Safiyanu Gogori, said the house has not lived up to its responsibilities because of the inadequacies of the Speaker who could not appropriately coordinate the activities of the house.<\/p>\n
At the initial stage there was a pandemonium over the motion which generated heated debate including forcing the state Chief of Staff, Dr Yunusa Adamu Dangwani to enter into dialogue with the members on their mission but to no avail.<\/p>\n
However, the house went ahead to perfect their intention on the ground that they needed somebody who will coordinate their activities with much experience , a reason why they voted the former House Minority Leader, Gambo Salau.<\/p>\n
