Ebonyi State Lawmaker, Lilian Igwe Suspended For Drunkeness
Thursday, June 07, 2012Omoba
“The House
has been brought to ridicule by the member representing Ivo State Constituency,
Lilian Igwe," Blasé Orji, the member representing Afikpo South East
said while moving the motion, on Tuesday, to suspend Igwe (PDP, Ivo)
"She does not only engage in excessive alcoholic drinking, she also boards commercial tricycles, popularly called KEKE NAPEP, to the House, thereby not carrying herself as an honourable member. Mr Speaker, based on this therefore, I move a motion that Hon Lilian Igwe be suspended from the House."
The motion was seconded by Christian Ursulor, (PDP, Ezza South). And when the
House Speaker, Chukwuma Nwazunku, put it to question, members unanimously
adopted it.
Reacting to the development, Igwe, a lawyer, who
was absent from the plenary, debunked the allegations.
"Only the members’
imaginations played out the petty behaviour they accused me of,"
she said.
Can you just imagine the kind of lawmakers we have
in naija. O lord Help us in this country.
