Kogi assembly crisis 5 members move impeach speaker

A current event!

According to reports, a crisis is brewing in the Kogi State House of Assembly, with five members of the assembly moving to impeach the Speaker, Matthew Kolawole.

The five members, who are reportedly loyal to the state governor, Yahaya Bello, have accused the Speaker of gross misconduct, abuse of office, and financial recklessness. They have also alleged that the Speaker has been working against the interests of the governor and the state.

The impeachment move comes after a long-standing feud between the Speaker and the governor, which has been playing out in the public domain. The Speaker has been accused of being too close to the immediate past governor of the state, Idris Wada, and has been seen as a thorn in the side of the current administration.

The crisis has the potential to destabilize the state government and could lead to a constitutional crisis if not resolved amicably. The Kogi State House of Assembly has 25 members, and if the five members who are pushing for the Speaker's impeachment are able to gather support from other members, they may be able to successfully remove him from office.

The development is being closely watched by political observers and stakeholders in the state, who are eager to see how the crisis plays out.
