The intervention by the Niger State house of Assembly on Tuesday saved the Chairman of Shiroro Local Government Area, Mallam Suleman Chukuba, from possible impeachment.
Eleven of 14 elected councillors in the area had on Monday collected signature with an intention to impeach the council chairman for his failure to organise a workshop for the councillors after seeking approval of N7 million from the legislature for the said workshop.
The council lawmakers also accused the chairman of misappropriation of the council’s funds and therefore resolved after a marathon meeting at the council Secretariat on Monday to suspend the embattled chairman from office.
