Lawmakers have on Thursday impeached Uche Ogbuagu as their majority leader at the Imo State House of Assembly, Owerri, the state capital.
Ogbuagu, who represents Ikeduru state constituency, had defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) shortly after Emeka Ihedioha was removed in January 2020 by the Supreme Court as governor in order to emerge as a principal officer of the house.
At Thursday’s plenary which was held under tight security, Ogbuagu was removed by a majority vote.
