My problem with Chime – Onyebuchi, impeached Enugu deputy gov
Says battle with his boss has just begun
After three weeks of investigations, the panel set up to investigate
allegations against Enugu State Deputy Governor, Mr. Sunday Onyebuchi
submitted its report to the State Assembly leading to his impeachment on
Tuesday, August 26.
Onyebuchi, who said he was out to prove his innocence, told newsmen few hours after he was impeached that it did not come to him as a surprise. He accused the panel of not hiding their bias throughout the period of its sitting. Thus he disclosed that his lawyers had been preparing and would immediately challenge the impeachment in court.
The impeached deputy governor insisted that the allegations against him were diversionary, claiming that his offence was his interest in the Enugu East senatorial position which, according to him, has been reserved for the Chief of Staff, Government House, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo.
According to him: “My problem started when I expressed interest to contest for the Senate seat of Enugu East Senatorial zone, coincidentally against the preferred candidate of the governor. Initially, they didn’t know I will make any impact, they felt they had everything, but when I started making consultations, people I never expected started giving me encouragement and support. He became uncomfortable.
