By Nathaniel Ikyur
KANO-FORMER governor of old Kano State, Alhaji Abubakar Rimi's political stronghold in Kano suffered a setback yesterday after his close associate and speaker of the state House of Assembly, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi Gwarmai was impeached.
Alhaji Gwarmai's impeachment followed a motion sponsored by the majority leader of the House, Alhaji Bello Ado Yandadi, which received a unanimous support. He was accused of bleaching his skin. He was replaced by his deputy, Alhaji Yau Abdulkahi Yanshana. This is the second time Alhaji Gwarmai would be sacked by the 40-member legislature.
