The Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Kennedy Ibe, has resigned his position.
The Assembly, on Monday, however, elected Emeka Nduka (APC-Ehime Mbano), making him the fourth Speaker in three years.
Ibe’s two predecessors were impeached in 2020 and in 2021, respectively.
Ibe was sworn on as Speaker on November 8, 2021, following the impeachment of Paul Emeziem (APC-Onuimo) for forgery and highhandedness.

Emeziem took over from Dr Collins Chiji (APC-Isiala Mbano) in November 2020 after he was impeached for unparliamentarily conduct and gross misconduct.
Chiji, however, appealed to the House to have his impeachment expunged from the legislative records and recorded as resignation, a request which was approved.
The fourth Speaker, Nduka was elected on Monday at a closed-door special sitting presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Amarachi Iwuanyanwu (APC-Nwangele), who called for nominations after reading Ibe’s letter of resignation.
Ibe gave no reason for his resignation.
The Majority Leader, Kanayo Onyemaechi (APC-Owerri West), however, nominated Nduka, a nomination seconded by Dr Uju Onwudiwe (APC-Njaba).
