The impeachment notice was presented by Majority Leader Lawan Husseini Dala and read by Speaker Ismail Falgore.

Lawmakers accused Abdulsalam of receiving illegal payments from local government councils during his time as commissioner for local government.

The development comes shortly after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf left the NNPP for the All Progressives Congress while his deputy chose to remain in the party.

Abdulsalam reportedly continued performing his duties despite belonging to a different political camp from the governor.


The action has drawn strong reactions from the Kwankwasiyya Movement, the NNPP and the Arewa Consultative Forum.

They described the process as political and warned it could harm democratic values, urging lawmakers to follow due process as the situation continues to unfold.
