Nyako said it was sad that President Goodluck Jonathan succumbed to pressure to extend what he described as politically-motivated emergency rule in Adamawa when there was no condition to warrant it.
The governor, who spoke through his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Ahmad Sajo, said the decision of the President to write to the National Assembly to seek an extension was an affront on the people.
He said, “President Jonathan has sent a document to NASS seeking to extend the politically-motivated state of emergency in Adamawa State despite the absence of all conditions that warrant the declaration in the first instance.
“As a government, we see this as an affront on the people of the state and a negative reward for their endurance and cooperation so far.
“We call on the National Assembly to review the situation carefully and treat every state on its merit. It is not fair for a President to be so disdainful towards the welfare of his people. We condemn any attempt to extend emergency rule in Adamawa State.”
