Kogi Impeachment: Okenyi Calls For Prosecution Of Lawmakers

The Clerk Emeritus of the Delta State House of Assembly Dan Okenyi, has called for the prosecution of the Kogi state lawmakers over the impeachment of the Deputy Governor, Elder Simon Aduba.
Okenyi described the legislators act as a coup.
He said “The political drama in Kogi state is nothing short of a coup for which all the gladiators involved deserved to be tried.”
Okenyi also stressed that Nigeria could not continue in such manner adding that, the lawmakers disregarded the constitution.
He said “Elder Simon Achuba must not be allowed to be humiliated for no just cause.”
“It is essentially an affront on constitutional democracy. Nigeria cannot continue in this manner and claim to be practicing democracy because Section 188, subsection 8 concerning matters of impeachment whether of a Governor or Deputy Governor is unambiguous.”
Okenyi further described the lawmakers as ‘legislative illiterates and mischievous’ while urging political elites across the country to rise against the legislative impunity.
“It is clear from what has happened that the majority of members of the Kogi House of Assembly are not only mischievous but naked legislative illiterates.
“Political leaders across board in the country must not just condemn the events in Kogi if we are to sustain democracy, we must not give the impression to ordinary Nigerians that Nigeria is being governed by rascals and celebrated political misfits. This is beyond party affiliation as impunity may destroy our democracy if we are not careful,” he said.
