The Imo State House of Assembly on Monday impeached its speaker, Kennedy Ibe, replacing him with Emeka Nduka.
Reports revealed that the ousted Ibe will be the fourth speaker to be ejected by the assembly in three years.
According to The PUNCH, the newly sworn-in speaker, Nduka represents the Ehime Mbano State Constituency.
He was congratulated by the Deputy Speaker, Amara Iwuanyanwu, the Majority Leader, Kanayo Onyemaechi of Owerri West, and ranking lawmaker, Ngozi Obiefule of Isu State Constituency.
The impeached speaker, Ibe, who represents the Obowo State constituency was elected as speaker in November 2021, after Paul Emezim was impeached as the speaker.
Ibe was on suspension when he was elected as the number one man of the legislature.
The member representing Ihitte Uboma state constituency, Onyemaechi Njoku, told our correspondent in a telephone conversation that the lawmakers would assist the new speaker to stabilise the Assembly.
