The Executive Chairman of Obingwa Local Government in Abia State, Hon. Micheal Ibe Nwoke, has spoke on the alleged swearing-in of his deputy as the new Chairman despite the fact that he is not yet impeached.
Following a press release issued by the Chairman himself and dated July 4th, Hon. Nwoke claimed that he has received the news of the swearing in of his Deputy as the new Chairman of Obingwa Local Government Area.
Part of the statement reads: “We already had a court injunction which restrained my impeachment and added that if a removal offense has being committed, the due process must be followed but it is surprising that despite not being impeached, a new chairman was today sworn in by the State government.”
“We will consult our legal team for further actions. While we urge all our supporters in Obingwa and the entire Abia especially the youths to remain calm as we seek legal redress to this illegality”.
“As we all know that we have another mandate to Represent the Good people of Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo Federal constituency come 2023 so we must be focus on the task ahead,” he added.
