Edo Politics Shaken As Council Chairman Is Impeached

According to Ireporter Online, the Council Chairman of Akoko-Edo Local Government Area in Edo State, Honourable Bliss Alabi Oshionogue, has been impeached by members of the legislative arm of the council.

The impeachment was carried out on Thursday after seven councillors endorsed and signed the impeachment notice against the chairman. Sources familiar with the development disclosed that the action followed unresolved disagreements between Oshionogue and the aggrieved councillors.

The development came just hours after a proposed peace meeting involving the council chairman and the Edo State House of Assembly failed to hold, further deepening the rift within the local government leadership.

Details surrounding the impeachment process and the next line of action by relevant authorities are still emerging.
