Impeachment of Singnya NNC/FGN Sumi Region ‘validates’

Kohima: The Naga National Council/Federal Government of Nagaland (NNC/FGN) has validated the impeachment of Brigadier (Retd) S Singnya as Kedahge (President) NNC/FGN on October 21 during an Emergency Tatar Hoho.

The impeachment was “duly executed in accordance with the provisions enshrined in the Yehzabo of Nagaland,” resolved a meeting of the NNC/FGN Sumi Region held in Dimapur on October 31 to address the ongoing political crisis within the FGN.

According to a press release from Deputy Secretary, NNC/FGN Sessional Secretary Akuto Zhimo and Acting Midan Peyu, NNC/FGN, Atoshe Tuccu, the meeting also unanimously adopted that the elections of Zhopra Vero as Kedahge, NNC/FGN, and Hekhuvi Achumi as Kedallo, NNC/FGN, held on October 22, 2024, during the Tatar Hoho, “were conducted in full compliance with the provisions of the Yehzabo of Nagaland.”

The meeting condemned the unconstitutional impeachment of Vero as Kedallo, NNC/FGN, on October 22 at Sanglo, Noklak, during a Cabinet Sitting, calling it a “blatant violation of the Yehzabo.”

This act is deemed dictatorial and illustrative of governance without adherence to or guidance from the Yehzabo, reflecting arbitrary decision-making, the Sumi Region stated.

In accordance with Article 108 of the Yehzabo of Nagaland, the Sumi Region also recommended the appointment of Atoshe Tuccu as the Acting Midan Peyu of the Region.

The NNC/FGN Sumi Region reaffirmed its commitment to uphold the principles, values, and directives established within the Yehzabo of Nagaland.
