History was made today in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) as councilors voted to impeach the Speaker of the Legislative Council, Hon. Mathew Yare, during a tense and decisive session in the chamber.
In a swift response to the leadership vacuum, lawmakers unanimously elected Hon. Ibrahim Jankaro as the new Speaker of the AMAC Legislative Chamber.
The dramatic development follows weeks of mounting tension and political consultations, marking a major turning point in the council’s political landscape.
Supporters of the impeachment hailed it as a necessary step to restore focus, accountability, and unity within the chamber. Meanwhile, the emergence of Hon. Jankaro is being celebrated as an opportunity for fresh energy and a new direction in legislative leadership.
As he assumes the mantle of Speaker, Hon. Ibrahim Jankaro now carries the weight of public expectation, with residents, party leaders, and political observers closely watching his next moves.
The AMAC community awaits how this new leadership will shape governance and enhance the delivery of democratic dividends at the grassroots.
This moment marks a defining chapter in AMAC politics — the close of one era and the beginning of another under the gavel of Speaker Ibrahim Jankaro.
