But there are indications that Nyako is set to resign from office.
Nyako and his deputy, Bala Ngilari, are presently facing impeachment moves from members of the state assembly over allegations of gross misconduct.
A seven-member panel set up by the state acting Chief Judge, Ambrose Mammadi, to investigate the allegations, commenced sitting in Yola on Monday.
His Chief of Staff, Abdulrahman Abba, who announced the holiday on Sunday, said it was to enable indigenes of the state pray for the return of peace to the state.
Despite the holiday, the panel began its sitting at J & J Holiday Villa at Karewa GRA amidst tight security.
Also, although the Assembly in its directive to the Chief Judge to set up the panel said the sitting should be made in public; security operatives denied Journalists access to the venue of the sitting.
