Anambra Speaker Escapes Impeachment By Disappearing With Assembly Mace

The Anambra state house of assembly was thrown into confusion on Thursday when some members of the house tried to impeach the speaker, Mrs Rita Maduagwu.

To frustrate the impeachment move, the Anambra speaker stealthily disappeared with the assembly mace, leaving the 28 members gathered for the day’s plenary without the symbol of authority of the house.

Members only got to know of Maduagwu’s disappearance when the bell meant to signifying her entry into the chambers rang several times and the speaker was nowhere to be found.

The majority leader, Victor Okoye, was therefore forced to call for the adjournment of the house to Tuesday, April 11.

The state governor, Chief Willie Obiano, thereafter arrived the assembly complex to intercede on Maduagwu’s behalf.

All 28 members who had indicated their readiness to impeach the Anambra speaker were all members of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).

According to Punch, Governor Obiano as a leader of the party in the state was said to have taken it upon himself to resolve the crisis.

  2. Our politricktians are so shameless though. When when they know it will make the news and it's supposed to be bad press, they still go ahead to do it.
