HOW CIRCUMSTANCES TRANSFORMS NYAKO INTO A DREAMER

EMME EMMA GWANAH
Few weeks after the incumbent Governor of the state, Barrister Bala James Nggilari was pronounced the governor of the state after the federal high court invalidated his resignation and ordered for swearing-in, there were strong rumours making rounds that Nyako will soon bounce back to his seat through the same judicial process following the suit he filed against the state house of assembly challenging his impeachment. However, the chief judge of the federal high court, Justice Ibrahim Auta discarded the suit filed by the Nyako claiming that the suit lacks locus standi to be tolerated by the competent court of law.
Not less than two weeks after the economic and financial crime commission (EFCC) declared the formergovernor of the state, Murtala Nyako and his biological son Abdulaziz Nyako wanted, the former Governor of the state, Murtala Nyako on Monday 3March, 2015 sought the permission of the federal high court in Lagos to apply for an order of mandamus against the chief judge of the federal high court, Justice Ibrahim Auta for discarding his case file with suit number FHC/YL/CS/11/E014.
The main grievance of the impeached governor, Murtala Nyako is that the chief judge of the high court has hijacked the case file for political reasons. He prayed the court to compelled the, Justice Ibrahim Autato release the case file with the suit number FHC/YL/CS/11/E014.
The governor in his first suit thrown out by the federal high court alleged that his impeachment by the state house of assembly has breached his fundamental right to fair hearing by the seven man investigation panel set up to investigate his allegations and later indicted him of 16 counts of gross official misconduct.
The impeached governor claimed that the seven panel investigative committee has not invited him to defend the allegations leveled against him by the state house of assembly which according to him is contrary to the constitution of the country
 Others joined in the first suit include,BubaKaigama, the Adamawa state house of assembly and the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba.
In the fresh application, the impeached governor, MurtalaNyako’s major prayer is that the court should grant him permission to apply for an order of mandamus against the chief judge of the federal high court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, saying though Justice Bilkisu had fixed judgment in the matter for February 12, 2015 she could not deliver the judgment as scheduled because the chief judge of the federal high court had “seized” the case file.
The impeached governor through his advocate lamented that the seizure of the case file by the high court, chief judge is politically motivated  as it was intended towards delaying the judgment till after May 29 when his tenure would have elapsed, thus rendering the case useless.
The move by the impeached Governor to bounce back to his former seat through court process can be best describe as what Hausa people called “koraKunya da hauka” because many believed that the intensity of the sins of Nyako could have robbed him of his sanity, hence his confused dream to get back to power.
The run-away Nyako claimed that the seven panel investigative committee set up to investigate the allegations leveled against him by the house of assembly denied him fair hearing,the runaway Nyako need to be reminded how he disappeared from the shores of the state on 17 June, 2014 despite the banned on Yola flight to track him down. He was reported to have escaped by road to evade service of impeachment notice and the panel.
How would Nyako, a political criminal be aspiring to come back to power after all the findings of the Justice Bobbo Commission of inquiry and the charges of treasonable felony against him? I still don’t believe that Nyako can be serious about his desire to reclaim his lost throe. If Nyako and his cronies have the effrontery to demand for justice in the wake of their atrocities, then something is fundamentally wrong.
Everyone has the right to dream dreams. After all, that is what old men are known for; to dream dreams. He can dream as many dreams as possible. Joseph dreamt dreams, could Nyko also be the Joseph of our time.
