The crisis currently rocking the Enugu State
Ouse of Assembly has claimed its first
casualty with Monday’s impeachment of the
Speaker, Hon. Eugene Odoh.
He was accused of promoting acts that
have brought the House to ridicule.
Some members of the House at a meeting
presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Hon
Chime Oji and attended by the Clerk of the
House, Mr. Christopher Chukwurah, elected
a member representing Nsukka East
constituency, Hon Chinedu Nwamba, as
Odo’s replacement.
Prior to the impeachment, the House had
earlier suspended the former Speaker and
eight other members for allegedly
committing acts which, according to the
members, bordered on “legislative rascality
and recklessness.”
Also removed were the Leader of the
House, Hon. S.K.E Ude Okoye and the Chief
Whip, Hon Theresa Egbo, who were
replaced with Hon. Donatus Uzoagbado and
Dr. Emeka Ogbuabor respectively.
