Gov. Zulum not losing sleep over impeachment rumours – Chief of Staff

The Chief of Staff to Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno, Prof. Hussaini Marte, says the governor never attached any seriousness to recent rumoured impeachment by the House of Assembly.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the assembly had, on Friday, conducted an extra-ordinary session to debunk the speculation that it was planning to impeach the governor.

Marte made the governor’s position known while addressing lawmakers and other dignitaries at the launch of the Ninth Assembly Magazine and Awards Presentation, organised by Northern Borno Students’ Association, in collaboration the assembly.

He said that the governor had a cordial working relationship with the assembly and knew that the lawmakers would not contemplate such a thing.

“The assembly has done exemplary well in terms of relationship with the executive and passage of bills.

“I have never seen a house working so closely with the executive in the history of Nigeria like this ninth assembly.

“What happened (impeachment rumours) is most unfortunate. I know it’s just a mere mischief by someone to cause confusion.

“That person will not succeed and he has not succeeded.
