This is even as there are strong indications that some emissaries may have gone to a former Chief Justice of the Federation, to seek for his intervention in compelling the Chief Judge of Nasarawa state, Justice Suleiman Umar Dikko to play along.
Findings reveal that given the likely refusal of the Nasarawa chief Judge to do the bidding of the assembly members, the former chief justice is being brought in to make him play along.
Insiders claim that the Presidency has shown more than a passing interest in the drama going on in nasarawa state, and has sent its own hatchet men to assist the Nasarawa state Assembly members in actualizing the plan to sack Governor Al-Makura.
