The Speaker of the Kogi House of Assembly, Matthew Kolawole, has described as “mere rumour” his alleged impeachment as leader of the parliament.
“My rumoured removal or impeachment going the round is but concocted lies and handiwork of some idle and frustrated legislators,” he said in a statement issued in Lokoja on Sunday.
A statement had earlier been issued on Friday, claiming that 19 members of the confluence state had impeached the speaker for alleged financial misappropriation and money laundering.
However, the speaker described it as the “sheer handiwork of some frustrated lawmakers” as he queried where and when the purported impeachment took place besides only appearing in a press statement.
