Reacting to the issue of impeachment by members of the State Assembly in his state, Yari noted that it was a mere misunderstanding.
He noted that “even the Assembly says there is no such move and that there was a misunderstanding. But you know it is democracy we are practicing and everyone can be hurt. We are peaceful,”.
Among governors who attended the night meeting were those of Kaduna, Niger, Plateau, Anambra, Ogun, Bauchi, Kastina, Kano, Kebbi, Delta and Abia. Most states were represented by their deputies.
