No move to impeach my former deputy – Tambuwal

Governor‎ Aminu Waziri Tambuwal on Thursday said that there was no move to impeach his immediate past deputy, Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto just as he described the choice of Mannir Dan Iya who replaces him as God’s destiny.

“Dan Iya is a very resilient person and became rewarded by God’s will.”

Tambuwal who was speaking for the first time on the resignation of his former deputy told a delegation of prominent indigenes of Kware local government on a thank you visit to him for choosing their son as his deputy.

“There was never a move to impeach him. All what was peddled were mere rumour and may have ‎been from members of his party in the state assembly.”

The delegation which consisted of over 15 persons was led by a former Commissioner of Budget and Economic Planning Alhaji Kabiru Tafida‎.
