SaharaReporters reported that the Assembly had a few weeks ago taken steps to impeach the deputy governor.

 

Eighteen members of the assembly had voted in support of the impeachment which made Aliyu inaugurate the panel.

 

The deputy governor had refused to join Governor Bello Matawalle to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

 

Mahadi, who is a son of a former Minister of Defence, Ali Gusau, argued that the Supreme Court awarded the electoral victory in 2019 to the PDP and not just its candidates.
