The embattled Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Rita Maduagwu, has described her purported impeachment as “a bundle of illegality.”
Hon. Rita Maduagwu after regaining access to the chamber described those who allegedly impeached her as “rascals,” adding that “Nobody can impeach me because I have not committed any offence.”
“They didn’t have any power known to any law to impeach me. They need two-thirds of our members to impeach the Speaker or the governor. So, I’m still the Speaker.” She explained
Maduagwu, who was accompanied by some government officials, including the Secretary to the State Government, Solo Chukwulobe to the chamber after two hours held a session with 11 members.
The Speaker adjourned the House sitting till November 15.
