* Denies Sponsoring Obi' impeachment
Delta state governor Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has said he was not planning to impeach the Speaker of the state House of Assembly Prince Sam Obi.
Dr Uduaghan who made the clarification while addressing Pastors Forum for good governance in Asaba said he has no issue with the Speaker and was therefore not making any move that will lead to the impeachment of the speaker.
He also said that impeachment comes from the House of Assembly explaining that since he was not a member of the House there was no way he could lead such a move.
His words “There is nothing in the impeachment rumour of the speaker. I have no issue with the Speaker and I am not making any move to impeach him.
"There is so much rumour in town about impeachment of the Speaker and I say there is no truth in it”.
The governor said there was no truth in the rumour which he said was being peddled to create disharmony and destabilize the state.
Dr Uduaghan who described the impeachment rumour as wicked unfounded and a big lie said that those behind it will fail.
Explaining further he said “I am declaring before you that there is no plan to impeach the Speaker. I know the implication of lying before Pastors and I again say I have no issue with him and I am not preparing to impeach him".
He therefore called on the clergy to pray against the spirit of hatred which seemed to have enveloped the state.
The governor regretted that there was so much hatred in the state just as he said that it was only intercessory prayers that will bring love harmony and the brotherhood of man to reign in the state.
Dr Uduaghan promised to improve the living standard of Deltans and enjoined the Pastors forum to form cooperative groups so that they can benefit from the micro credit scheme.
The governor however commended the Pastors forum for being supportive and promised to hold regular meetings with the Pastors.
Dr Uduaghan gave assurance that he live up to the expectation of a state bearing the slogan Finger of God.
In his brief remarks the leader of the Forum Rev Jude Akhare said they were interested in good governance and want good governance entrenched in all state governments throughout the Federation.
Rev Akhare said his forum want to partner with the Uduaghan administration on good governance.
He therefore requested the governor to provide dividends of democracy for Deltans especially potable water, good motorable road, electricity and easily accessible and health care delivery.
