Edo ACN Warns Against Impeaching Amaechi With 5 Lawmakers

[Shola Sholaz]

THE Edo State Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has warned that any attempt by five members of the River State House of Assembly to impeach the Speaker of the House or Governor Rotimi Amaechi may mark the end of democracy in Nigeria.
.
The state chairman of the party, Thomas Okosun who also was former Speaker of the Edo state House of Assembly, described the Tuesday mayhem at the Assembly complex as unacceptable and a test to our democracy, just as he urged both the presidency and the National Assembly not to allow the political situation in Rivers State lead to the end of this democracy.
.
His words: " What happened in River State at the House of assembly where five members of the House attempted to impeach the Speaker in a House made up of 32 members, where only five members who claimed to be loyal to a serving Minister attempts to impeach the Speaker is a rape on democracy.
.
We urge those behind it to desist from that.

All I know is the right step should just be taken...We should ensure we do what will develop Nigeria at all times. Nothing must hold us back.
