The Taraba State House of Assembly has firmly denied widespread speculation regarding an alleged plot to impeach Deputy Governor Aminu Alkali, declaring the reports as baseless and misleading.
Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Hon. Nelson Len, made this clarification on Wednesday while addressing journalists in Jalingo. He assured the public that the Deputy Governor is simply recovering from an illness and not the subject of any impeachment process.
“There is no constitutional crisis or leadership vacuum in Taraba State,” Hon. Len stated. “The Deputy Governor, His Excellency Aminu Alkali, is recuperating well. Any rumour suggesting otherwise is the handiwork of mischief-makers trying to destabilize the peace and governance structure of our dear state.”
He called on citizens to remain calm and ignore the political distractions, emphasizing that the Assembly is focused on its legislative duties and on supporting the executive arm to deliver good governance to the people of Taraba.
The clarification comes amid growing concerns from the public over the Deputy Governor’s absence from several recent official functions, fueling speculation of a political rift within the state government.
