Information at our disposal has it that the Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Mrs. Rita Maduagwu has run away with the mace, (the symbol of authority of the legislative house).

Sources at the Anambra State House of Assembly disclosed to us that trouble started when members of the House made a move to impeach the speaker. Noticing the move, the speaker immediately absconded with the mace.

Following the confusion at the Assembly Complex, Governor Willie Obiano drove straight to the House of Assembly complex to salvage the situation. Sources also revealed that the governor addressed the 28 members of the House majorly comprising of members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) begging them to persuade others not to carry out the impeachment.

Mr. Onyebuchi Offor, member of the House representing Ekwusigo narrates: “We came this morning to hold our normal session only to be disappointed that the speaker had absconded with the mace.”
