The crisis currently rocking the Enugu State house 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. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

That means Governor Chime won the battle. Heard lots of money went down, if not, Chime is the one that would have been impeached. Well, He's a good governor! Enugu state is one of the finest SE since Chime became governor. He continued from where his predecessor stopped. Spirit of continuity
