The Delta House of Assembly on Wednesday,
suspended one of its members, Hon. Reuben Izeze over alleged
misconduct. Hon. Izeze, the representative of Ughelli South state
constituency, was suspended for three months for bringing the House to
disrepute.
The lawmaker’s suspension followed a motion moved by the
assembly’s Majority Leader, Mr Tim Owhefere, during the legislative
body’s plenary session.
Moving the motion, Owhefere noted that the behavior of
Izeze was unbecoming of a lawmaker, adding that such attitude would do
the Assembly’s image no good.
He therefore moved that the lawmaker should be suspended for three months to enable him learn more about legislation.
The motion was seconded by the Chief Whip of the House, Mrs Pat Ajudua, representing Oshimili North Constituency.
It was then unanimously adopted by the Assembly after it was put through a voice vote by the Speaker, Chief Sheriff Oborevwori.
"Hon. Rueben Izeze, Member representing Ughelli South
Constituency is hereby suspended for a period of three months”, said
Oborevwori.
The motion did not however give details of the alleged
misconduct. However, it is being speculated that the alleged misconduct
has to do with Hon Izeze sleeping on the floor before a former Vanguard
reporter, Sola Adebayo who he considered as one of his benefactors. He
also sometimes ago did the same thing before ex-governor, Dr. Emmanuel
Uduaghan.
