Governor Rochas Okorocha and Speaker Imo House of Assembly Rt Hon Acho Ihim

Imo State Political intrigues have taken a new dimension with the battle shifting ti the State House of Assembly, where at its first plenary following the just concluded convention of the ruling All Progressive Congress four members of the state house of assembly have been suspended..

Masquerade234 gathered that the latest development is a fallout of the what transpired between supporters of Governor Rochas Okorocha and his deputy, Eze Madumere, who engaged each other in a free-for -all fight at the convention ground last Sarurday.

The Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Acho Ihim, who presided over the plenary, accused the suspended members of engaging in “un-parliamentary conduct.”

The affected lawmakers were Chiji Collins, representing Isiala Mbano state constituency; Ifeanyi Nnataraonye, Mbaitoli (Madumere’s LGA ); Uche Oguwuike, Ikeduru state constituency (Madumere’s in-law); and Ikenna Nzeruo, representing Oru West state constituency.

The Speaker immediately appointed Lawman Duruji, who represents Ehime Mbano, as the chairman of the committee that will look into the allegations of the alleged “un-parliamentary conduct.”

Ihim, who did not explain the “un-arliamentary conduct,” announced that the suspension was indefinite and that his leadership would not tolerate acts that would tarnish the image of the Assembly before the members of the public.
