President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday at the presidential villa in Abuja held a closed-door meeting with the Speaker of Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Musa Mohammed and the Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus.
There have been street protests by youths in the state following moves by the state House of Assembly to impeach Governor Tanko Al-Makura who is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The lawmakers on Wednesday asked the state Chief Judge to raise a panel to investigate al-Makura on 16 charges of gross abuse of public office.
The Speaker, who was accompanied by some principal officers of the House of Assembly, however declined to give details of the meeting.
“It is a private visit. I don’t have the mandate of the State Assembly to brief the press. The Chairman of the House Committee on Information has the mandate to speak to the press on anything concerning impeachment.” #TheNation quoted him as saying.
