Allegedly to avoid being impeached by his colleagues
The Deputy Speaker of the Katsina State House of Assembly, Bello Majenwaiyya (PDP-Charanchi), has resigned his position.
Majenwaiyya gave no reason for his decision.
However, sources said the lawmaker had aroused the ire of his colleagues who subsequently advised him to resign honourably or be impeached.
The assembly, on Tuesday, accepted Majenwaiyya?s resignation. Sale Magaji (PDP-Sandamu) nominated Idris Yakubu (PDP-Jibia) as the new Deputy Speaker.
His nomination was seconded by Halliru Atiku (PDP-Bakori).
Danlami Kurfi (PDP-Kurfi) said that they wanted to make changes in the House for administrative convenience and had no intention of impeaching the speaker.
The lawmakers had earlier removed the Majority Leader, Shuaibu Tandama (PDP-Danja), as well as the Chief Whip, Bala Yaya (PDP-Ingawa).
