The Ebonyi State House of Assembly on Friday served Governor Martins Elechi an impeachment notice.
It is alleging misappropriation of state funds by the governor, among other sundry charges.
At plenary, Ogbonnaya Francis Nwifruru, acting majority leader of the House, read out a list of offences and complaints against the governor.

The House last week constituted a panel to investigate the governor following petitions it said it received from various stakeholders accusing him and the executive of contract inflations, among other infractions.
The panel completed its investigations earlier this week and found Elechi culpable.
However, the governor on Friday after the impeachment notice was served said that some powerful members of his party at the national level were behind the impeachment plot.
