Abia State House of Assembly has dismissed as baseless the rumour making the rounds on social media that it plans to impeach the state Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu.
Speaking to journalists after meeting with Governor Okezie Ikpeazu at the Governor’s Lodge, Aba, the members of the State House of Assembly led by the Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Uchendu said the House was not planning to impeach the governor.
The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Solomon Akpulonu and the Minority Leader, Hon. Chukwu Chijioke described the rumour as a figment of the imagination of the purveyors of the rumour adding that it was a lie from the pit of hell.
They said that the House is yet to reconvene after the election recess, wondering why such rumours should be receiving attention.
They said that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has done well in the State and the House is happy with him, hence , there is no need for any impeachment.
According to them, those carrying the rumour are only doing that to malign the State House of Assembly.
The Minority Leader, Hon. Chukwu Chijioke particularly pointed out that, there is no way an impeachment can be carried out without his knowledge as the Minority Leader.
The Members of the Abia State House of Assembly numbering 13 further urged Abians to disregard the unfounded rumour while assuring that they would sustain their support to Governor Ikpeazu to enable him complete his tenure successfully.
