The president, Ahmed Lawan while reading a letter addressed to the Senate at the plenary, announced Nasiha’s resignation to the Senate.
He noted that Nasiha resigned to become the deputy governor in his state.
This happened after a committee set up by the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Kulu Aliyu, investigated some allegations levelled against Gusau.
The panel had Justice Halidu Tanko-Soba as Chairman, Oladipo Okpeseyi (SAN), as Deputy Chairman and Abdul-Atadoga Ibrahim (SAN), Hussaini Zakariyau, (SAN), Amina Tanimu-Marafa, Alhaji Sani Mande and Ahmad Buhari-Rabah, as members.
There were claims that Gusau was impeached after his refusal to dump the Peoples Democratic Party following the defection of the state Governor.
