Twenty-one lawmakers of the Imo State House of Assembly have passed a vote of no confidence on the Speaker of the State Assembly Acho Ihim.
The lawmakers on Wednesday asked Ihim to step aside following a notice of impeachment served on the Speaker.
Calls for Ihim’s impeachment are hinged on a 10- count allegation bordering on gross misconduct, misappropriation of house funds, negligence of duty and illegally subduing legislative activities.
