The crisis rocking the Anambra State House of Assembly has taken a fresh dimension as the speaker, Rt. (Hon.) Mrs. Rita Maduagwu has refused to reconvene the House. Sources squealed to us that the speaker is afraid of being impeached by her colleagues.

The House, through a motion for adjournment moved by the majority leader, Hon. Victor Jideoffor Okoye and seconded by Hon. Onyebuchi Offor was adjourned last Thursday 6^th April, 2017 to reconvene on Tuesday 12^th April, 2017.

For those who don’t know, the speaker was said to have run away with the mace, the symbol of authority of the House to her Ukpor country home in Nnewi South Local Government Area on Thursday 6^th April, 2017 when she sensed that her colleagues had concluded plans to impeach her over alleged highhandedness and other sundry offences.
