THE 10 councillors of Numan Local Government Area of Adamawa have withdrawn the impeachment notice it recently served on the local government chairman, Mr Christopher Sofore.
Mr Nazashi Latinos, their leader, stated this during a news briefing in Yola on Saturday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the councillors had served the impeachment notice on Jan. 8., citing allegations that bordered on corruption and maladministration.
He was also accused of “running the council alone as if the councillors do not exist”.
Other offences included alleged misappropriation of local government’s funds.
“The decision to withdraw the impeachment notice is sequel to our understanding of remote and immediate causes of the crisis which we have traced to communication gap between the executive and legislative arms of the council.
“While we appreciate the intervention of prominent sons and daughters of the area, we have resolved to work with the executive arm in the interest of peace in Numan Local Government and the state at large.
“We equally call for calm from both sides as the crisis has been amicably addressed,” he said.
Latinos appreciated all stakeholders and those who helped in resolving the challenges.
He said that the council was the voice of the voiceless and must be seen to be truthful at all times.
“As elected representatives, we have resolved to ensure that the right thing is done always.
“Our interest is to ensure the overall growth and development of Numan and Adamawa. We cannot compromise quality representation,” he said (NAN)
