Ebonyi state Governor, Martin Elechi may be facing impeachment soon.
Elechi's looming impeachment follows the reinstatement of impeached Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Chukwuma Nwazunku.
Following the reinstatement, one of Elechi's supporters, Ignatius Onele who spoke to THIS DAY said, "We seriously suspect that they want the former speaker to return and start moves to impeach the governor. We are aware of plots to remove Elechi after which the deputy, Chief Dave Umahi would resign and pave the way for Nwazunku to be acting governor. The whole move is to make sure that Elechi does not remain in office while the elections of next year are on.
"Their argument is that he being there would be an advantage to the Labour Party, which his supporters in the same party have metamorphorsed into. So with Elechi out of the way and Nwazunku as acting governor, the PDP bloc would have a better pedestal to prosecute the elections next year to their advantage.
"We still express genuine fears because though they don’t have the number to handle that, but we have not forgotten what has been on in Ekiti, where seven members overwhelmed about 19 others, impeached the speaker, and today is the accepted majority. We shout loud now because if they make moves to impeach Elechi, that will backfire
