https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfj2gMxtsTw
He was impeached on Tuesday at about 9am.

In a sitting presided over by the Deputy speaker, Hon. Ifeanyi Uchendu, (PDP/Ohafia South), Hon. Kennedy Njoku(Osisioma Ngwa North), moved a motion for the impeachment of the speaker which was seconded by Hon. Chijioke Chukwu. Speaker Orji was accused of insensitivity to the welfare of the members of the House.

Njoku said; “I want to move a motion considering the present situation in the House of Assembly and the feelings of members towards the speaker of the 7th House, Engr. Chinedum Orji, of his insensitivity to the welfare of members and other sundry activities. It is clear to us that all these have led to gross misconduct on the office of the speaker. Hence, I move a motion for the removal of the speaker.”

In a video which has gone viral, Njoku also read a list of the members who signed for the impeachment of the speaker. It includes Hon. Ifeanyi Uchendu,(PDP/Ohafia North), former Speaker, Hon. Chikwendu Kalu, (PDP/Isiala Ngwa South), Hon. Chijioke Chukwu, (APC/Bende North), Hon. Okey Igwe, (PDP/Umunneochi),Hon. Chukwudi Apugo,(PDP/Umuahia East), Hon. Stanley Nwabuisi,(PDP/Ikwuano),Hon.

ABN TV further gathered that members who didn’t sign the impeachment motion include; the majority leader, Hon. Solomon Akpulonu, (PDP/Obingwa East), Hon. Ginger Onwusibe(LP/Isiala Ngwa North), Hon. Jerry Uzosike,(PDP/Umuahia South) ,Hon. Kelechi Onuzuruike,(Umuahia North) and Hon.Abraham Oba(PDP/Aba Central).

Details are still sketchy as at the moment of this report but may however not be unconnected with alleged unwillingness of the Speaker to commence impeachment proceedings against the state governor, Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu.

Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Ifeanyi Uchendu representing Ohafia South confirmed the impeachment to ABN TV but did not disclose other information.

Rt. Hon. Orji, son of the former Governor Theodore A. Orji had lost his bid to represent Ikwuano/Umuahia federal constituency in the House of Representatives.

End of the road for the thief.

Nothing good ever comes out of this state. I hope otti will change the narrative

Once you loose, your enemies go come out from their hiding places showing their sharp weapons

End of the road for the Orji dynasty in Abia State.
This is the real CHANGE
Time for Oti to proof himself and move the state forward
However, I don't succumb to impeaching a governor who has less than a month to conclude his tenure in office.
They all wined and dined together for the past years.
It's now they want to show legislative rascality

Have you ever been to Abia State or just what you read on the net and in newspapers?

Aba is a place where you go with a nylon bag and in 2 to 5 years you have started building a house without having a surname or any connection before coming to the city.

Same thought here.

I don’t see the sense in trying to impeach a governor who has less than 4 weeks to the end of his tenure. Na now daybreak? Why not allow him to just do and carry himself and his troubles and go?

Meanwhile, I’m so happy that the Orji dynasty has been dismantled in Abia, never to rise again. Never ever!

It was a dynasty of criminality that cared less about the welfare of the people.

Thank God for saving Abia.

24 years it took them in Abia state.

Sadly, they have nothing to show for it.

Very good

Don't know how APC are winning HoA seats in other SE states but can't win sh!t in Enugu.

MC Oluomo of ABIA state is gone.

Of what essence is there to the impeachment of a looser with less than a month in office?

Both him and his father should be caught and jailed for life

When Peter Obi said that we would be dismantling structures of criminality, this is a perfect example.

Obi and Obidients happened to him

Abians have woken up. But not for Yakubu, we'd be expecting a replicate of this political cleansing across the country within the shortest possible time.

She was referring to Alex Ekubo who is also known as Chief Ikuku.

Ok

Peter Obi is blessed

No wahala, Shebi una don remove am now and all of una wen sign am don acheive una aim.

You didn't impeach due to insensitivity to the plight of people of the state but una own pocket.

Well, Life know how he dey take send thunder to who's due for her visit.

I hear he is also the son of former governor of the state, Theodore Orji and the grandson of Tom Orji Ikoro, a very influential warrant chief who worked very closely with the British colonial masters.

Noted.

GOOD LUCK
