My people, e be like say wahala don dey for Akoko-Edo local government as their chairman, Alabi Oshionogue, don chop impeachment!
This matter no be small gist o! The story wey dey circulate na say seven out of ten councillors for the local government come gather their sense and sign letter wey carry Oshionogue go impeachment pitch for January 28. Na just few hours after dem fail to meet with him for peace talk for Edo State House of Assembly. No be say dem wan make peace o, na the matter be say three councillors wey miss the meeting dey try plot to remove the seven wey don impeach am.
As e be now, those three councillors wey miss the meeting sef don see say their seats no dey safe again, as dem declare the seats vacant. After the drama for House of Assembly, the seven councillors rush go Igarra, where dem dey run the local government, come issue the impeachment matter officially. Na there dem write, and I quote, “We, the undersigned members of Akoko Edo Local Government Area Legislative Arm, hereby impeach you as the acting Local Government Council Chairman with effect from today, the 28th January, 2026.” Na serious matter wey dey ground sha!
Dem talk say the reasons wey dem paint Oshionogue for red light include things like abuse of office, high-handedness, and embezzlement of council funds. Na serious allegations o! Dem still talk about anti-party activities and financial recklessness. As if that one no dey enough, dem include say him dey forge documents and dey disobey constituted authorities. Chai! Impeachment no be beans o!
And abeg, no forget the viral video wey show when dem boo Oshionogue comot for office. Na so this matter take dey hot online! E no long before dis man sef come talk for phone interview say all the allegations na lie. I swear, the way politician dey respond to accusation e fit make you laugh. He claim sey those councillors just dey do their thing for political reason and say he no go allow them intimidate am. He insist sey him dey work for the people and him dey follow Governor Monday Okpebholo wey dey bring better projects come grassroots.
He even talk say, “I stand with the people and with Governor Monday Okpebholo, who is delivering people-oriented projects to the grassroots people.” You fit hear am say e no dey fear anybody, say the commonwealth no go enter the hands of few people wey wan use am do their own business. E go make sure say everything go by the book as per the Nigerian Constitution. Wetin we fit talk? E be like say dis kasala no go end anytime soon!
