The Ogun and Imo states’ houses of assembly yesterday removed their Majority Leader and Deputy Speaker, respectively. In Owerri, the Imo State capital, the lawmakers sacked their Majority Leader, Hon. Uche Ogbuagu. Ogbuagu, who represents Ikeduru State Constituency, had defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) shortly after former Governor Emeka Ihedioha was removed in January 2020 by the Supreme Court, in order to emerge a principal officer of the house. However, at yesterday’s plenary which was held under tight security, Ogbuagu was removed by a majority vote. The speaker, Hon. Paul Emezim, who was presiding over the plenary announced that Ogbuagu, who had been having cold war with Deputy Speaker, Hon. Amarachi Iwuanyanwu, had been removed.
