The House of Assembly then elected Emeka Nduka as its new speaker immediately after the removal of Ibe on Monday
However, details as to the reasons for Ibe’s removal were still yet to be ascertained at the time of filing this report, PUNCH reports
Meanwhile, the removal of a speaker by the Imo Assembly is not a strange thing
Truetells Nigeria reported in 2020 that the House removed Chiji Collin as the Speaker over allegations of financial impropriety, high handedness, and gross misconduct among others
The impeachment letter was said to have been signed by 19 of 27 Assembly members at the plenary session in November 2020
Due to this, Collins was seen in a viral video spilling kola nuts in anger during a meeting with constituents and pushing down a table angrily after a member of his constituency slammed his performance in office in January
Speaking in Igbo, the young man had stated that Collins shouldn’t re-contest over poor performance
Infuriated by the comment after trying to silence the young man down, the lawmaker angrily pushed the table with refreshments and moved toward the critic
