The Enugu State House of Assembly seems to have taken a back step, they have denied serving Governor Sullivan Chime any notice of impeachment.
In a statement by the Clerk, Christpher Chukwurah, he said the house neither moved the motion nor was he directed to serve any impeachment notice on Chime.
Also, the fifteen lawmakers, who had allegedly passed a resolution to commence impeachment proceedings against Chime, have denied the existence of any impeachment notice.
“During our meeting with the governor-elect, he asked for a copy of the notice of impeachment against the governor and everyone denied having signed such document,” a lawmaker said.
“I write to inform Your Excellency that the Enugu House of Assembly never moved any impeachment motion, not to mention directing the Clerk to serve any notice of impeachment to His Excellency Sullivan I. Chime, the Governor of Enugu State.”
Chime said he did not receive any notice from the House and dismissed the allegations reportedly made by some of the lawmakers against him as “as baseless, barefaced lies borne out of malice and mischief”. Chukwurah’s statement reads:
The two factions agreed to maintain a two-week moratorium to seek a resolution of the issues between them.
