Politics: Imo lawmakers plot speaker’s impeachment over ties with Okorocha

Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha

Members of the Imo State House of Assembly are at the verge of removing the Speaker, Hon. Acho Ihim, following Governor Rochas Okorocha’s alleged non-payment of the welfare packages of lawmakers since their inauguration in June.

The Speaking is being accused by the lawmakers of not concentrating on his duties, which include their welfare and that of the workers, but rather pursues a closer personal relationship with the executive arm.

No fewer than 16 of the 27-member House have, according to reports, indicated readiness to ensure the speaker is removed, if he continues to hobnob with the governor at the expense of members’ welfare even as such relationship could greatly threaten the independence of the legislature.

The speaker and the state governor allegedly travelled to the United States a few days ago for yet-to-be disclosed reasons.

Ihim is an All Progressives Congress (APC) second term member.
