Nyako further avowed that he may seek Jonathan’s intervention in the ongoing moves by the state House of Assembly to remove him from office at the appropriate time.
According to Nyako, the President would likely wade into the matter since the state has always been there for the President.
Nyako made this disclosure yesterday at the presidential villa in Abuja where he attended the inauguration of the steering committee of the Safe Schools Initiative inaugurated by the president.
Speaking with newsmen, Nyako said, “Not yet. It has not reached that crisis point. We have supported him all this time; he has supported us and in situations like these, when Mr. President’s support is required, we will seek it.”
Asked if he might likely resign, he said he was not considering that yet, even as he said his chances of surviving the ongoing impeachment proceedings in the state were bright.
“Well, it is in the court and the court said it was not well done. We are hoping that if they want to do it, they will do it following the normal process in whatever they want to do,” Nyako stated, just as he claimed that the state was calm and peaceful.
On whether some former Heads of State had spoken to the President on his behalf, the governor said, “That would be excellent”.
Asked to give insight into the root cause of the crisis, he said:” Adamawa is a very interesting place. If I tell you we have 87 ethnic groups and the two religions are fairly balanced, it means that being sensitive to each and everyone of us is very important.
“It is a place of intellectualism; everybody has his own point of view and you have a group of people who share a certain point of view. And until it changes, they will maintain that point of view. But we have been peaceful somehow and we will remain peaceful”, he pledged.
Asked if he may defect back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nyako said, “Quite frankly, you know how I joined the PDP and partisan politics in the first place. It is not really my field. My field is known. You know what I was before. We are straightforward; have two distinctions: loyalty and disloyalty; two separate pieces.
“But one of the politicians told me that there are a lot of things in between loyalty and disloyalty which up till this moment, I have not appreciated. So, for me, disloyalty with this type of attitude with Nigerian politics of today, you are likely to step on toes of a few,” he added.
