BARELY One week after the member representing Ukwuani State Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Dafe Chukwudi was suspended, another member of the State Assembly, Hon. Oboro Preyor was, yesterday, handed a 14 legislative-day suspension.
Hon. Preyor, member representing Bomadi State Constituency in the State Assembly was handed down the suspension on allegation of gross official misconduct.
The suspension order, The Pointer reports, was raised at Tuesday’s Plenary presided over by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor by the Majority Leader and member representing Aniocha North State Constituency, Hon Emeka Nwaobi as it was seconded by the member representing Ughelli North 1, Hon Matthew Omonade.
The House, The Pointer further reports, unanimously adopted the suspension order through a voice vote called by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor.
Consequently, the Speaker noted that a committee would be constituted anytime soon to investigate the alleged official misconduct of the suspended Lawmaker and chairman, House of Assembly Committee on Works and Special Projects.
Meanwhile, it would be recalled that the recent suspension of Hon. Oboro Preyor brings the number of suspended lawmakers in the 8th Assembly to three following the earlier suspension of the member representing Ughelli North 1 State Constituency, Hon Matthew Omonade and his Ukwuani State Constituency counterpart, Hon. Dafe Chukwudi.
While Hon. Matthew Omonade’s suspension has since been lifted, his Ukwuani State Constituency counterpart, Hon. Dafe Chukwudi is still serving his suspension order.
