Imo State House of Assembly, on Monday, impeached its Speaker, Mr Paul Emeziem (APC – Onuimo), during a special sitting.
Emeziem’s removal followed a resolution signed by 19 of the 27 members of the House.
Mr Kennedy Ibeh (APC – Obowo), a second-term member of the Assembly, has emerged the new Speaker.
Members of the House left the Assembly’s premises as soon as they finished the closed door sitting.
Emeziem had last week announced the impeachment of the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Mr Amarachi Iwanyanwu.
He did not give any reason for the removal.
