Ovia North East Local Government Council has witnessed a dramatic political shift as its Chairman, Hon. Collins Ogbewi, and Vice Chairman, Hon. Efosa Uyigue, were impeached on Tuesday, 7 January 2025.
This development comes amidst a wave of impeachment actions sweeping across local councils in Edo State. Sources reveal that the decision to remove the council leaders was reached following a legislative session earlier in the day, though specific details behind their impeachment remain unclear.
In the wake of their removal, the Leader of the Legislative Arm, Hon. Igbinake Omoruyi, has been sworn in as the Acting Chairman of the council. His immediate focus, according to reports, will be on restoring stability and addressing governance issues in the local government area.
Residents and political observers have expressed mixed reactions to the move, with some viewing it as a necessary step towards accountability, while others question the motives behind the decision.
