The Ebonyi State House of Assembly has agreed to serve an
impeachment notice on Governor Martin Elechi, after accusing the governor of corruption
and gross misconduct.
A motion for the notice to be served on the governor was
approved after the acting Majority Leader of the House, Francis Nwifruru, on
Friday, read details accusing Mr. Elechi of undermining the integrity of the
House and committing fraudulent acts, SaharaReporters reports.
The Ebonyi Assembly had last Wednesday, February 18, set up
a panel to investigate allegations of financial misappropriation against the
governor and some of his aides.
The assembly took the decision following petitions it
received from groups in the state, including Ebonyi Integrity Group.
In one of the petitions, the embattled governor, his son,
Elechi Elechi, and Edward Nkwegu, among others, were accused of contract inflation
and illegal use of state funds for private gains.
