After Fighting Dirty, Abia State House Of Assembly Members Reconcile | SEE RECONCILATION CONDITIONS
After the intensive political battle between the Abia State House of Assembly members, the members have reconciled their differences and have decided to work as one body in the remaining few days.
Recall, that some members of the ABHA few weeks ago purportedly impeached the Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly (ABHA) Rt. Hon. Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji outside the chambers of the House, they went further to make Honorable Chukwudi Apugo their speaker. But in a swift reaction, the Speaker Rt. Hon. Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji with some other members held a sitting in the Chamber and suspended about 9 members involved in his purported impeachment and equally impeached the deputy speaker Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Uchendu. CLICK TO READ FULL DETAILS
According to a press release that was made available to ALL FACTS NEWSPAPER and signed by 16 members of the ABHA, the suspension of the members have been lifted, but Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Uchendu remains impeached as deputy speaker.
