The member representing Isialangwa North/South Federal
Constituency in the House of Representatives, Darlington Nwokocha, has called
on the Nigeria Senate to discipline Senator Smart Adeyemi representing Kogi
West Senatorial district.
The lawmaker’s grouse for calling for Senate’s move against
Adeyemi followed his verbal assault on the governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie
Ikpeazu.
Senator Adeyemi had during Senate plenary on Tuesday
labelled Abia State Governor a ‘champagne drunkard’, but in a statement which
Hon. Darlington Nwokocha sent on Friday, he described Adeyemi’s
outburst as a legislative idiocy, hence he should be disciplined.
Hon. Nwokocha said, the integrity of the upper legislative chambers would be at stake, if nothing is done to ‘derank’ Adeyemi, noting that his vituperation was in breach of legislative provisions.
“The brazen rascality and unguarded utterances of Sen.
Adeyemi is a disgraceful desecration of the Hallowed chamber of the Nigerian
Senate, and a threat to democracy.
“It’s a bastardization of the public image of the National
Assembly, a breach of his legislative powers, privileges and code of conduct
for public officers”, charging that in dealing with this matter, the Kogi
lawmaker should be handed over to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Public
Petitions and Privileges.
“This is a shocking act of legislative idiocy perpetuated by
Sen. Smart Adeyemi (Kogi West), wherein he desecrated the sanctity and the
treasured sacredness of the Senate and the National Assembly of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria by his verbal assault on His Excellency, Dr. Okezie Victor
Ikpeazu, the Executive Governor of Abia State, the Government and good people
of Abia State as a whole.
“Sen. Adeyemi during the Senate plenary of 23rd February,
2021, while contributing to a motion, suddenly lost his lucid moment, digressed
from the subject-matter before the Senate to recklessly claim that, the
governor of Abia State is a drunkard.”
The lawmaker believes that the Kogi Senator has a mental
issue, saying if he recovers, he should mobilise his kinsmen to Umuahia to seek
forgiveness.
“One would have thought that Sen. Adeyemi, having served
three terms in the Senate Chambers would have gathered the requisite wisdom
required of a ranking Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Unfortunately, the Senator’s despicable outburst has shown
that he lacks the necessary knowledge, qualifications and intellectual
legislative decorum to continue to enjoy the privileges of a ranking senator.”
