THE Speaker, Taraba State House of Assembly, Rt. Honorable Istifanus Gbana, his deputy and the majority leader have been impeached.
This followed a motion moved by the member representing Lau Constituency, Joseph Albasu and seconded by member representing Gembu Constituency, Dr Abubakar Jugulde under matters of urgent public importance.
Joseph Albasu told the House members that the former speaker, Honourable Gbana failed to lead and forward a list of allegation levelled against him during today’s sitting.
The allegations levelled against the former speaker included gross misconduct, divide and rule system of administration and unruly behaviour leading to the loss of confidence in the House by the people of the state.
Albasu said the former speaker also failed in his responsibility to hold meetings, and was instead using only four members to pilot the affairs of the house, thereby reducing the standard of the House to a personal estate.
Meanwhile, Haruna Tsokwa, member representing Takum 1 constituency has been elected new speaker.
After presenting the allegation which was presided over by the speaker pro tempo, Honourable John Bonzena the members were requested to confirm their signatories.
The seventeen members who were at the sitting affirmed their signatures to pave way for the removal of the speaker, his deputy, Peter Abel Diah and the majority leader, Honourable Charles Maijankai.
