We didn’t sign to impeach Kogi Speaker – Lawmakers fume

Lawmakers in the Kogi State House of Assembly have distanced themselves from the signatures collected to impeach the Speaker, Rt Hon. Mathew Kolawole.

The lawmakers, who made this known on Tuesday during the house plenary, said they collected signatures to pass a vote of confidence on Governor Yahaya Bello’s presidential ambition and not to impeach the Speaker.

The position of the lawmakers is coming a few days after the suspended Ex-Deputy Speaker, Hon. Ahmed Mohammed representing (Ankpa I) and two other Ex-principal officers, Hon. Bello Hassan Abdullahi (Ajaokuta), and Moses Odoo, (Dekina/Biraidu), told journalists that Prince Mathew Kolawole has been impeached as Speaker of Kogi State House of Assembly over alleged financial impropriety, high-handedness, serial abuse of office, refusal to abide by the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended.

Lawmakers, who took turns to speak during the house sitting presided by Prince Mathew Kolawole recalled that on 13th May 2022, members unanimously agreed to support Governor Yahaya Bello’s presidential ambition and not to impeach the speaker.

Reacting to the lawmakers’ comments, the Speaker, Prince Mathew Kolawole, said the suspended lawmakers have violated the house rule and will be investigated by the committee on ethics and privileges.

“The Chairman of this committee should write to these suspended lawmakers. It is a grievous offence. A member that is expected to be honourable is now acting dishonourably. I call this forgery because a document that is meant for something is being used for another thing.
