Strong reasons behind the resignation of Hon. Aminu Shagali as Kaduna Speaker have started emerging.
The ex-Speaker who’s representing Sabon-Gari Constituency in the Assembly since 2011, officially submitted his resignation letter to Clerk of the House Tuesday morning.
Chairman, House Committee on information, Tanimu Musa, also confirmed he submitted his resignation letter on Tuesday.
It was gathered that members of the House had started collecting signatures to impeach Shagali before he eventually bowed to pressure and resigned with the reason behind the pressure yet to be unraveled as the time of filing this report.
