Sunday Onyebuchi |
22 out of the 24 members
of the Enugu State House of Assembly rose from their sitting last Tuesday and
resolved to serve a notice of impeachment on the state Deputy Governor, Chief
Sunday Onyebuchi after leveling several allegations against him.
The lawmakers subsequently
summoned him over allegations bothering on gross-misconduct, and they gave him 7
days to respond to all the allegations.
The embattled
Deputy Governor, who is nursing a Senatorial ambition from Enugu East
Senatorial Zone, got to office with Governor Chime in 2007 under the PDP.
Sources told First
Weekly in Enugu last week that Onyebuchi has been served with notice of
impeachment by the Clerk of the House and it was gathered that he is expected
to respond to the allegations of gross-misconducts leveled against him by the
lawmakers.
It will be recalled that the relationship
between Governor Chime and his Deputy went bad recently, when the Enugu State Development
Authority moved to destroy the poultry farm he was developing at the premises
of the government house.
Reacting to the impeachment notice served on
him, the Deputy Governor disclosed during a telephone interview that he was
being witch-hunted because of his senatorial ambition in 2015, adding that he
will accept whatever comes out of the impeachment plot in good faith
