Mr Gurjiya moved the motion on behalf of 23 of the 28 All Progressive Congress (APC) lawmakers in the house.
Mr Gurjiya was sworn in as a lawmaker on Tuesday during the plenary session presided over by the Speaker, Abdulazeez Garba-Gafasa, following his victory during the recent rerun elections in the state.
According to him, the decision to remove the majority leader followed the agreement of 23 of the 28 APC lawmakers in the 40-member parliament.
The impeachment motion was seconded by another APC member representing Bagwai/Shanono, Ali Shanono. Following the adoption of the motion, the legislators unanimously adopted the motion and called on the majority leader to step aside.
