There was mild drama Monday June 15, 2015 at the Warri South-West Local Government Council Legislative Arm in Ogbe-Ijoh, when the Councilors elected on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP during a Sitting purportedly impeached Hon. Thomas Emami as Deputy Leader of the House over his defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
In a swift reaction, Hon. Thomas Emami, described the action of his colleagues as an indication “of ignorance of what the law stipulates”, insisting he had since sent his letter of resignation as Deputy Leader of Warri South-West Legislative Arm since June 12, 2015 and that the Clerk of the House read it during the sitting Monday June 15.
Hon. Emami who described the action of his colleagues as witch-hunting “because he defected to the APC”, stressed that only his constituency has the right to recall him as Councilor and as such do not require the consent of his PDP colleagues to join the APC.
He vowed to pursue every legal means to continue to represent people of Akpakpa Ajudaibo Ward in Warri South-West Legislature, saying former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal as well as former Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Victor Ochei retained their legislative seat despite decamping to other political parties.
