The embattled Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Acho Ihim, has resigned.
He resigned on Tuesday, days after 21 lawmakers in the Assembly passed a vote of no confidence on him and thereafter, asked him to step aside.
Calls for Ihim’s impeachment were hinged on a 10-count allegation bordering on gross misconduct, misappropriation of house funds, negligence of duty and illegally subduing legislative activities.
Following the resignation, Lawman Duruji has been appointed as the new Speaker.
