The Bayelsa House of Assembly has reversed the impeachment of
its former Speaker, Mr. Tonye Emmanuel Isenah.
The House, however, accepted a resignation letter from the
ousted speaker, who was removed in controversial circumstances on
September 30 following an internal crisis rocking the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the November 6 governorship
poll.
It was learnt that the new understanding was reached after
Governor Seriake Dickson intervened and resolved the crisis.
Isenah was said to have officially tendered a resignation
letter, backdated September 30, 2019, the day he was impeached
following his refusal to honour a gentleman’s agreement he reached
with his party leaders to relinquish his position.
In the letter addressed to the Speaker, Monday Obolo, Isenah
expressed his appreciation to the state government, his fellow
lawmakers and the public for the support they accorded him while in
office saying that the resignation became necessary for peace to
reign.
Drawing from Order 1 subsection 2 of the House Standing Orders,
empowering the House to regulate its procedures through motions,
the Deputy Majority Leader, Mr Bernard Kenebai moved the motion for
the acceptance and adoption of the letter as a working document of
the House.
The motion was seconded by the member representing Ogbia
Constituency 1, Mr. Mitema Obordor.
Speaking shortly after the adoption of the letter, Obolo,
thanked his colleagues, especially Isenah for their understanding,
saying it demonstrated superiority of the state’s interest.
He said: “We have once again demonstrated that we can
subordinate our personal interest to the interest of the State and
that we stand united as a House in spite of minor understandable
differences.”
Explaining further after plenary, he said the adoption and
acceptance of the resignation letter replaced the impeachment
proceeding against the former Speaker.
Writing on the development, Isenah said: “Appreciation to all
those who stood by me through this period.
“Special thanks to my worthy constituents, friends and
well-wishers for the show of love and support. When I gather my
memoirs and document my story, a whole lot will be revealed. Life
itself is a struggle”.
