The Abia State House of Assembly has impeached its speaker, Rt.Hon. Chinedum Orji.

Orji was purportedly impeached on Tuesday morning during a session presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Ifeanyi Uchendu, in a yet-to be verified location in Umuahia the state capital.
According to a viral video, Orji was removed following allegations of insensitivity over the welfare of the lawmakers.
The motion for his impeachment was moved by the member representing Osisioma Ngwa North state constituency, Kennedy Njoku, and seconded by Chijioke Chukwu representing Bende North State constituency.
