Barely two weeks after the Imo
State House of Assembly went on recess, the symbol of authority, mace is
alleged to have gone missing.
It was gathered that part of
the news was that the Assembly mace was allegedly used for the impeachment of
the Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly and his deputy about a week ago.
Meanwhile, the member
representing Oru-West state constituency in Imo State House of Assembly,
Dominic Ezerioha, in a press briefing on Tuesday described the rumour as false
and a fabrication of evil discussants who want to destroy the image of the
State Assembly.
Ezerioha who is the House
committee chairman on Information and Judiciary said that the mace is intact
and in sacred place for legislation.
“The news about the missing Imo
Assembly mace is completely false. It is mere propaganda orchestrated by the
enemies of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Chiji Collins to water down his efforts over
the years.
“As I speak, the symbol of
authority is intact and in sacred place for legislature. The speaker of Imo
state House of Assembly is in possession of a legal meaning of the mace
belonging to the Assembly and until he ceases to be the Speaker of the House,
the mace won’t be moved an inch from its sacred position.
“Anybody can wake up to talk
nonsense. Imagine someone telling you that your mother is a woman when you
already know she is. The news is false and a figment of some peoples’
imagination. The symbol of authority, I repeat is intact and in sacred place
for legislature,” he added.
The mouthpiece of the House further
said that the fabricators of the rumour will soon be unraveled and made to face
the punishment.
