Their impeachment followed the adoption of a motion by Ndagi Baba, representing Lavun Constituency and seconded by Saidu Tama, representing Edati Constituency during Thursday’s plenary.
The motion, according to Baba was on the basis that the majority leader and his deputy were responsible for the slow movement of activities in the House, adding that there have been no progress or improvement since they both assumed the leadership position in the House.
Meanwhile, Speaker of the House, Abdullahi Wuse, said he was not notified of the decision to impeach them which was contrary to the Standing Order of the House.
Mohammed Haruna, representing Bida II Constituency, however, moved that the order read by the speaker be suspended and was seconded by Malik Madaki, representing Bosso Constituency.
