The northern senators forum has removed Abdullahi Adamu, senator representing Nasarawa west, as its chairman.

This was contained in a notice read on the floor of the senate by Ike Ekeweremadu, deputy president of senate, on Wednesday.

The forum said it removed Adamu as chairman because of “financial mismanagement” and “maladministration”.

Adamu was one of the senators who opposed amendments to the election timetable on the grounds that President Muhammadu Buhari might be the target.

“This is to inform the senate that the majority signatories of members of the Northern Senators Forum. We have removed senator Abdullahi Adams as chairman of the Northern Senators Forum for financial mismanagement and misadministration,” the notice by Dino Melaye, publicity director of forum, read

“We announce his replacement with Senator Aliyu Wamakko immediately. Find the attached names and signatories of members.”
