18 lawmakers impeach Abia Assembly speaker

Members of the Abia State House of Assembly Tuesday morning impeached the Speaker of the House, Chinedum Orji.

Orji’s removal followed the adoption of a motion moved by the lawmaker representing Umuahia East, Chukwudi Apugo, and seconded by his colleague at Umunneochi constituency, Okey Igwe, during the plenary held at an undisclosed location in the state capital.

18 of the 24 members signed the impeachment paper while four abstained.
