Adamawa state governor, Murtala Nyako, \u00a0yesterday, declared today and tomorrow as work free days to enable the citizens to reflect on the situation in the state and Nigeria and to offer special prayers to God for intervention.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although the governor did not make direct reference to his current impeachment travails, it was learnt that the prayers sessions are intended to seek the face of God in thwarting the effort by the state\u2019s lawmakers and his former party, PDP, to oust him from office.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the prayer session continues, Nyako is expected to approach the Appeal Court this week to challenge the decision of the state\u2019s Acting Chief Judge, Justice Ambrose Mammadi, to set up a panel to probe him without first being served the notice of the impeachment as demanded by law.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But the prayers may not do much to salvage the governor, as the seven-man panel, whose membership had already been unveiled, gets set to finish up its assignment within the week and push the governor away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The panel, whose composition of five Christians and two Muslims is already raising eyebrows among the Muslim community in the state, is likely to wrap up its assignment and report back to the House of Assembly earlier than expected.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although some political bigwigs in Adamawa are expected to intervene and save Nyako, his key political opponents are not likely to forgive Nyako and would push for his removal as soon as the committee turns in its report.<\/p>\n
