Drama played out during Tuesday’s plenary of the Delta State House of Assembly as Member representing Ughelli North 1 constituency, Hon Mathew Omonade who was the first victim of the gale of suspension sweeping across, adopted the Motion for a fellow colleague’s suspension.
Recall that the Member representing Ukwuani Constituency, Hon. Chukudi Dafe became number two on the suspension roll call of the present Assembly during last week sitting for alleged gross misconduct.
The Member representing Bomadi Constituency Hon Oboro Kenneth Preyor came under the hammer on Tuesday and was similarly suspended for fourteen legislative days for alleged gross misconduct.
Motion for the suspension of Preyor was moved by the Majority Leader, Hon Emeka Nwaobi, representing Aniocha North, seconded by the member representing Ughelli North 1 constituency, Hon Mathew Omonade.
As usual, immediately the suspension was slammed on him, the no-nonsense Speaker, Rt Hon Emomotimi Guwor ordered the Sergeant-At-Arm to escort Preyor out of the Hallowed Chambers, while the House went on with the sitting.
