Ten out of the 24-member House of Assembly were alleged to have collected N10 million each through a colleague of theirs to prosecute the plot.
It was learnt that a balance of N40 million would be given to them next week during which the impeachment notice will be served on the governor. These claims, however, could not be verified as at press time.
It was also learnt that efforts were being made to bring at least six other legislators on board to meet the constitutional number needed to remove the governor.
The move was necessitated by the belief in certain quarters that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may have a hard time in the forthcoming governorship election if Elechi is allowed to remain in office.
It was alleged that the impeachment move may not be unconnected with the governor’s alleged “closeness” to the Labour Party (LP).
Nawa o,can u imagine......smh
ReplyDeleteEverybody is fighting for his or her own pocket. I remember wen I was served in Nasarawa. The best governor in the history of d state, Tanko Al-Makura, they wanted to impeach him. For what reason? Only God will help us but we need to help ourselves by saying and doing wat is right.
ReplyDeleteUr right,,,but elechi still one of d worst governors we hv oh...
DeleteThis is serious everybody is looking for a way to be on top of the word
ReplyDeleteEbonyi tho. Dis is one state dat almost seem non-existent 2 me. D govnor too should roll out money and counter-pay, isn't dat what our politricks is all about; Money. Mk dem dey do body joor. Hmmm! "Uwaifo don talk e own o".
ReplyDeleteMy brother...u need to visit that state oh....it looks like junk area
DeleteOlovo nobe lie ooo! I stayed in ebonyi for about 13years, and since Sam egwu left office, there hasn't been any development in the state, up till date! Even the structures that he left, elechi hasn't been able to complete them till now, and they are still delaying to impeach him.
DeleteNa run I run leave ebonyi oo! No development, and I can bet that it's (spera in deo) that is sponsoring the impeachment or tycoon...cos these are part of the people who own ebonyi even though they are from anambara.
DeleteOk nao we are watching
ReplyDeleteThey is great injustice in ebonyi state when it comes to basic infrastructural development.......legislators should be impeaching their governor for this reasons n not for self interest n politics...beside the man is even old...deputy for 8yrs,governor for 8yrs,..
ReplyDeleteWho knows next,he will be a senator after this post for another decade....God intervene in our political structure
He's already contesting for a senatorial seat!...him and his fellow old cargo (hon offia nwali) for me I think ebonyi politics is for the old!
DeleteNa dem know..
ReplyDeleteDo it if its good for d state and citizens
Me him kuma rest now
ReplyDeleteAbi e neva do am ne,he's even too old sef,i support his removal
ReplyDeleteIf he wasn't doing anything, they wud v impeached him long before now, dt state sha,with their history of black fly
ReplyDeleteElechi was a mistake as he is not fit as a developmental leader. But isn't it laughable that they are trying to impeach simply because he is romancing with the labour party now!
ReplyDeleteWhere were they all this time, is it now that election is just a month to go. I know they are just wasting their time on this. And if the house members allow themselves to be used, then am sorry for democracy.
Let dem do wat dey feel is d ryt tyn to do if it will move dem forward
