LAWMAKERS of the opposition All Progressive Congress (APC) have served an Impeachment notice to Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom.

The legislators numbering about eight ( out of the 30 of the parliament, have also taken over the premises of the state assembly with the of the police.

This was disclosed by Tahav Agerzua, a spokesperson for Mr Ortom.

“They have taken over the House of Assembly and served the governor an impeachment notice despite a court order forbidding them from doing so,” Mr Agerzua was quoted by Times as saying.

Mr Agerzua accused George Akume, a former governor and an APC senator from the State, as the one who brought police officers from Abuja to attempt to use eight lawmakers to impeach a governor in a House of 30 lawmakers. The lawmaker was not reachable for comments on this story as at press time.



The crisis comes a few days after Mr Ortom defected from the APC to the PDP. Also two days after his defection, 13 out of the 23 local government chairman followed suit.



It also came days after 23 PDP lawmakers impeached the House Speaker, Terkimbi Ikyange, on allegations that he was not carrying other along in legislative activities.

Mr Ikyange, who remained in the APC despite recent mass defection of his colleagues to the PDP, was said to have been impeached because he was no longer in the majority party.

Last week, PDP lawmakers said they were compelled to use the Government House in Makurdi to conduct legislative businesses after security agencies locked the parliament.

The state’s police commissioner was changed last week.

Impeachment Notice Because he Decamped from a Party that wants to turn Benue State to Graveyard??

Dead on Arrival (DOA)

Buhari and co trying to burn down our country

8 out of 30 lawmakers can not impeach the governor even with the help of security personnel stopping others from entering the Assembly hall.
APC always looking for ways to destabilize Ortom.

All I see is Adams Oshio hand writing. Tinubu erroneously brought him up to perfect a game plan that will final bring down APC

Why , Because He Decamped



Nigeria Which Way Na , All This Shi!t Never Tire Una

This can only happen in Nigeria

APC and this dirty politics they play. When people defected from the PDP to APC in 2015 we didnt witness all these

Same might be done to Mr. president.....

This is another sad chapter in the annals of Nigeria.And zombies said Buhari/APC are democrats that are intolerant of opposition both within & without
This illegality must not be allowed to sail through.All reasonable Benue people should storm the state HOA. The NASS should also resume to commence impeachment proceedings against the useless man Nigeria have as president now.

Share for Buhari and APC

Trying times.. our democracy is ing through trying times indeed.
The gov mobilized for the Speaker's impeachment, nobody bathed an eye lid. Law makers have decided to pay him back in his own coin and pitiably, this will attract all sorts of unwarranted sympathy and attention.

8 out of 23

let me laugh in Spanish...

It will NOT work

Nigeria will only get worse. Nigeria can't change without loss of lives.

They will not succeed

The legislators numbering about eight (cool out of the 30 of the parliament, have also taken over the premises of the state assembly with the of the police.

Nigeria has turned to a failed state under Buhari

How can 8 out of 30 lawmakers form a quorum to impeach a governor? This istration has shown total disregard for civility and the Constitution.

Buhari should hide his face and stop parading himself as an incorruptible President.

God save Benue.

BUHARI AND HIS COHORTS WANT TO TURN NIGERIA TO PLANET APE.

THEY DO AS THEY LIKE AND BE DOING ANYHOW.

BUHARI MUST THINK HE IS NOW GOD.

the earlier buhari special adviser alert him we are no more on military govt again the better for them


no matter what he tries to do we keep denting his image the more. tyrant that PDP campaigned against him in the past is now visible to Nigerians


I doubt if buhari would accept defeat comes 2019 that man is just one hypocrites hiding under Democratic settings

Tyrant on the Throne . One thing I know is that people like Buhari die miserably.
Check history before you quote me. to cc your mudafvcker

Imagine we've got this tyrant as a president since 2003, Nigeria would've ceased to exist!
