The lingering crisis of the Adamawa State House of Assembly has deepened as nine out of  25 members of the legislature sat on Tuesday in the conference Hall of Government House,Yola, to remove the Speaker of the Assembly, Alhaji Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri and his Deputy Barrister Kwamoti Laori out of office.‎
The ouster came after a parallel sitting at the House of the Assembly complex in Yola, presided by Fintiri , where 10 members including the Speaker also sat .
At the plenary session the Speaker said six members of the Assembly were absent with the leave of the House, while he said others were absent without permission and the house was yet to be abreast of the reasons for their absence.
The house has since adjourned its sitting to Wednesday 29 April ,2015.
However, before then, 11 aggrieved lawmakers had issued a press statement accusing Fintiri of high-handedness and unilateral closure of the house which lasted for weeks and issued a warning to the effect that by that action they have no alternative other than to convene the sitting elsewhere.
Prior to the just-concluded March/ April general election in the country, the house of assembly had gone on a three-week recess to allow members participate in the electoral process.
But a day to the opening of the house after the recess has elapsed, 11 members allegedly loyal the governor Nggilari issued a press statement expressing their grievances with the leadership style of the speaker and threatened to effect a leadership change in the house.
