EBSHA, Thursday, recalled its member, Hon. Mrs Maria Nwachi representing Afikpo
North East Constituency.

photography business.
Mrs Nwachi was on January, this
year suspended for alleged acts inconsistent with her office as a lawmaker.

had also before now constituted a committee headed by the Chief Whip, Chile
Ogiji to probe the allegations leveled against Nwachi and report back to the
House.
It was gathered that Ogiji led
Adhoc committee presented its report and further recommended 6 months extension
of the suspension against the lawmaker.
However, the resolution to recall
Mrs Nwachi came up after considering the motion moved by the Deputy Leader
Chief Kingsley Ikoro at the plenary.
Ikoro in his motion added that
the embattled lawmaker had shown so much remorse and deserved to be recalled to
enable her join other colleagues in the day to day business of the house
He pleaded with the speaker to
temper justice with mercy as Mrs Nwachi had approached her colleagues
individually and collectively asking for forgiveness.
The motion was seconded by Mrs
Augusta Ude representing Ohaozara East constituency, who said that her
telephone conversation with Nwachi confirmed the readiness of the Lawmaker to
turn up a new leaf.
Also, Mr. Victor Chukwu
representing Ezza North west constituency while lending support to the motion
advocated for Counselling of the lawmaker to instill good behavior into her.
The speaker Ogbonnaya Nwifuru
noted that the lawmaker had exhibited a certain degree of remorse and subjected
the motion into a voice vote and it was unanimously upheld.
