This is happening at a time when members of the Cross River State House of Assembly impeached their Speaker, Hon. Elvert Anyambem.
News Direct learned that Hon Ayambem was impeached over alleged gross misconduct and administrative high handedness.
Checks by Torizone revealed that the plot to remove Anyambem has been on for months as members have been expressing misgivings at his conduct and modus operandi.
As at Tuesday, 17 members had signed up for his impeachment and the motion for his removal was moved on the floor of the House by member representing Calabar South 1, Hon. Effiong Ekarika and seconded by Charles Omang.
After impeaching him, the mace was taken away by the members.
However, members of the state assembly have moved to Transcorp Hotel where the new Speaker will emerge.
