Sealing my lodge, height of impunity – Nyako

The Adamawa State Governor, Alhaji Murtala Nyako, has described the sealing of the Adamawa State Governor’s Lodge in the Federal Capital Territory by the FCT authorities as the height of impunity.
Nyako said the sealing of the Lodge, on the orders of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Mohammed, was carried out without any notification to him.
Nyako, who spoke through his Director of Media and Public Affairs, Ahmed Sajoh, said he was shocked by the development.
Sajoh told newsmen: “The question we may ask is: did they notify us of any infraction and intention to seal the Governor’s Lodge?
“If that was done, is the Adamawa Governor’s Lodge the only one in Abuja where meetings, whether social or political, are held?
“You see, this is the impunity we are talking about and they have continued to act with more recklessness not minding that the spirit of inter-governmental relationship should operate with utmost good faith.
“This is a situation that all Nigerians of good conscience should rise against because if they treat a governor and a state like they are doing, what they would do to a private individual can best be imagined.”
Mohammed, in a statement, had said that the Lodge was sealed because it was being used for political purposes.
Nyako belongs to the New Peoples Democratic Party headed by Alhaji Kawu Baraje while Mohammed is loyal to the faction headed by Alhaji Bamanga Tukur.
After a controversial court judgement based on which the police sealed the initial secretariat of the nPDP, the group, made up of seven governors, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun State among many other political heavyweights, moved its meeting point to the Adamawa Governor’s Lodge.
