Former speaker of Kano State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Atah has regarded his impeachment as a destiny from God. Ata said that he accepted the incident in good faith as predetermined by Almighty God.

He made this known in an interview with radio Nigeria in Kano on Tuesday while speaking about the development that led to his impeachment.

Ata has challenged the allegations levelled against him of Fund embezzlement, late-Coming, incompetence and failure to carry members along, were among the basis of his removal from speakership of the Kano state house of assembly.

Atah noted that there is the need for the accuser to come and explain categorically to the general public of where and when did the alleged embezzlement committed in the Kano assembly under his stewardship.

He said “Stressing that Kano legislative House is like a fishbowl society, where nothing would be shrouded in secrecy”.

Speaking on the alleged late-coming and failure to carry all members along, Ata said that since from the time he assumed duty, he does everything possible to give a sense of belongings to the entire House members, including the Staunch Kwankwasiya members and the single PDP member.

According to him, he said despite the efforts been made, the needed support was not forthcoming, due to longstanding political resentment shared by some members who facilitated his removal from office.

However, he explained that “as enshrined in the House ethics, which stated that the House should conduct its plenary from 10.00am - 1.00pm, but as he stressed that no matter how his early-arrival to the office, there was deliberate laxity to form the quorum from some of the members, which some among them formed it as a compounding basis to justify his impeachment”.

Meanwhile, Ata extended his wishes to the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Kabiru Alhassan Rurum for his resurrection as newly elected House Speaker for the second time, and also to the reconstituted House Principal Officers.
