JOS NORTH COUNCIL BOSS DEBUNKS HIS PURPORTED IMPEACHMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

The Executive Chairman of Jos North Local Government Council , Shehu Bala Usman has condemned in strong terms his purported impeachment in the  Social media, describing it as the handiwork of his detractors who are bent on destabilizing his administration and plunged the area in a needless crisis.

A statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Philip Eplong, the chairman described the purported impeachment as an exercise in futility that will not stand the test of time since there is no any record of Legislative sitting

 The Chairman  noted to impeached a sitting Chief Executive, proper and constitutional channels; such as the collection of the two third majority of signatures of members to a petition; presentation of the petition to the chairman;  the setting of seven Man committee shall be constituted to hear the alleged offences, if any and the presentation of the Committee's report for deliberation; must be followed.

The statement said all these procedures were not followed and described the alleged impeachment as a social media exercise and an abuse of the Legislative integrity, adding that what is reported is  unconstitutional, null and void.

The Chairman disclosed that since  assumption of office in October last year he has been carrying all along, including the Legislative Council and he is at a lost as to where the said impeachment is coming.

 He added that from all intents and purposes, the said exercise is aimed at rubbishing his modest achievements since assumption of office.

The Jos North Council Boss wondered why the Legislative Council will attempt to impeach him without giving him any notice or the opportunity of fair hearing through service and defence of allegations against him, if any, as enshrined in the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Shehu Bala Usman therefore used the medium to appeal to the security agencies to apprehend those behind the infamous move as their action has the capacity to cause the breach of the hard-earned peace currently being enjoyed in the state.

He urged his supporters to remain calm and be law abiding, noting that  efforts are on to unravel the identify of these agents of destabilization who, he said, are out to achieve their selfish interests.

The Chairman called on the people of the locality to go about their legitimate businesses as authorities of the council are on top of the situation.

Philip Eplong.
