Benue Assembly: Impeached Speaker Insists He’s In Office, APC Reacts by iko123: 9:59am On Jul 25, 2018 |
Impeached Benue Assembly Speaker, Terkimbi Ikyange has spoken on his removal by his colleague. Ikyange was impeached by 21 members. The House has 30 members. Other principal officers sacked were the Deputy Speaker, James Okefe (APC, Okpokwu) Majority Leader, Benjamin Adanyi (APC,Makurdi South) and Deputy Majority Leader, Nick Eworo (APC/Oju). Titus Uba (APC/Kyan) was elected Speaker. Reacting, Ikyange told NAN that it was “an act of illegality”, declaring that he was still the Speaker of the House. “The proper procedure for impeachment was not followed. As Speaker, I am the only one qualified to reconvene the seating of the House. “In my absence, only the Deputy Speaker can reconvene the Assembly as directed by me. None of us was aware of this session because we are currently on recess. “To the best of my knowledge, the House stands adjourned till Aug 15. When the House is on recess, we can only reconvene if there are matters of urgent importance. “Since this procedure was not followed, I consider this an act of illegality. This is not about me but about the sanctity of the Assembly. It is an institution whose rules must not bastardized,” he said. He warned those parading themselves as leaders of the House to desist from doing so in their own interests. “As far as I am concerned, all the principal officers are intact. Nobody is impeached,” he assured Chairman of the APC in Benue, Abba Yaro, said that he was not aware of any change in the leadership of the Assembly. “I am still trying to get details of the said impeachment; I will get across to you as soon as the picture is clear. Right now, I can’t believe it is true,” Mr Yaro said. http://www.currentgist.com.ng/2018/07/benue-assembly-impeached-speaker.html?m=1 1 Like

Nigerian Government is a big joke! Anyway, this means that Nigerians will have to put up with APC for longer, because APC will win in 2019, buhari till 2033. And the nigerian cowardly youths are busy on their facebooks while these old men are destroying their futures. |

This is a bad precedent If they let this to stand, that means Senators can reconvene tomorrow instead of September and commence the impeachment of Saraki and Ekweremadu even without the two being aware that senate is sitting All these happening under #tyrantBuhari |

Nigeriabiafra80: Read properly and stop displaying ignorance on the web, it is 22 out of 35 members. Use Google to find how many members are in benue House of Assembly, if you dont know. They need at least 23 members to form a quorum. Moreover, Only the Speaker himslef.can reconvene a House on Recess. |
