The impeachment panel probing allegations of wrong-doings against Enugu State Deputy Governor, Mr. Sunday Onyebuchi, yesterday, submitted its report to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr. Eugene Odo, thereby fueling speculation that the embattled deputy governor could be impeached today.
Chairman of the panel, Mr. Frankln Uche Oraekeiyi, who led six other members of the panel to the Speaker’s office yesterday morning, said the report was prepared in three volumes.
According to him, Volume One is their findings; Volume Two, the proceedings; and Volume Three, their recommendations, which he did not disclose to journalists who besieged the House of Assembly to interview him.
The speaker, however, thanked the panel members for accepting the responsibility and discharging their function within a short time.
He also thanked the State Chief Judge, Justice Innocent Umezulike, for “assembling top professionals” to carry out the investigation.
Odo promised that the House would within 14 days look into their recommendations and decide whether to adopt or reject it.
Though the panel chairman did not disclose details of their recommendations, a staff of the Assembly revealed yesterday that the deputy governor was found guilty of all allegations leveled against him.
Although this could not be confirmed officially yesterday as the Public Relations Officer of the House, Mr. Jonas Ugwuanyi, said that details of the report were yet to be disclosed, it was gathered that the panel asked the lawmakers to remove the deputy governor from office.
