List if all Impeached Governors since 1999 Check it out

No political administration anywhere in the world is free from the possibility of impeachment as long as the need arises and as such, Nigeria has had her fair share over the years.

Usually, the issue of impeachment stems from cases of gross misconduct and a grossly faulty electoral output, which has been the reason for many of the cases in Nigeria.

Since the early 90s several governors in different states of the federation have been impeached at one time or the other, and under certain terms and conditions, those governors were replaced.
