Clash in Akwa Ibom as five lawmakers allegedly planned to impeach Gov. Emmanuel Udom

Five lawmakers were the ones whose seats were recently declared vacant by the speaker of the House, Onofiok Luke. It was gathered that they arrived early at the assembly complex with thugs and heavily armed policemen and with a mace to commence the impeachment of the governor.
They chased everyone out, manhandled the press secretary to the speaker, Kufre Okon and headed straight to the chambers.
Back in August, Akpabio defected from PDP to APC and expected his loyalists, the governor and those in the state house, to decamp with him to the ruling party. They however refused, affirming their position to remain in PDP. The state residents have alleged that Akpabio was behind all the crisis in the state house so he can install his own loyalists in key positions in the state.
