The Ebonyi State House of Assembly yesterday June 5th suspended one of its members, Lilian Igwe, for allegedly getting drunk and acting inappropriately.
The lawmaker was allegedly seen on several occasions drinking herself into a state of stupor and vomiting on herself.
"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.

My people why do you continue to devalue our God given State(Ebonyi State more and more in the face of the whole world? pls be civlized!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are all deceiving yourself. How many of you are worthy to be called "Honourable"? Your best ability is to "share money". One day, you all will pay for your crimes. But it is true that the is getting drunk in public places, then suspension is not enough. She should be recalled and another person elected to take her place. God help us Frank!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is best amongst you all for showing herself the way you all are - useless citizens under the guise of being "honorables". She is more honorable than you the others at least that she rides in the "common man's" limousine. Other than that, you all are common thieves and drunkards, it's just that you drink and get drunk unnoticed! Tufiakwa!!!
ReplyDeleteI pity her husband,kids,family,community,constituency. Nonsense
ReplyDeleteFrank i thank so much the lady in question does not deserve to be an honorable not to talk of representing a constituency so somebody else should replace her she is a disgrace to Ivo state constituency a disgrace to Ebonyi state and the entire country
ReplyDeleteSO NOW FOR A LAWMAKER TO BOARD KEKE NAPEP IS NOW A CRIME, IS IT THAT THOSE THAT BOARD IT ARE NOT HONOURABLE? SHE DID WRONG QUIET ALRIGHT BUT I DONT THINK SUSPNSION IS ENOUGH FOR HER.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity. Some Ebonyians are yet to get matured in behaviour. Self and neighbourhood humulation, injustice and low self esteem reigns in the highest order.
