Anambra Assembly slams suspension on PDP lawmaker

The Anambra State House of Assembly has suspended Hon. Bernard Udemezue, member representing Ayamelum Constituency, for three months.

Udemezue, a PDP lawmaker, landed in trouble after a social media post where he alleged his constituency was being shortchanged in constituency allowances.

Angered by the post, lawmakers dragged him before the House Committee on Rules, Business, Ethics and Privileges after a motion was raised last week.

At Tuesday’s plenary, Speaker Somtochukwu Udeze announced the decision of the House to suspend Udemezue for what was described as “damaging content” against the Assembly.
