Female Lawmaker in Ebonyi State suspended for drunkeness

The Ebonyi State House of Assembly yesterday, June 5 suspended one of its lawmakers, Lilian Igwe, for allegedly getting drunk and messing up herself. Igwe was allegedly seen on several occasions drinking herself into a state of stupor and misbehaving.“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.” His motion was seconded by Christian Ursulor, (PDP, Ezza South).And when the House Speaker, Chukwuma Nwazunku, put it to question, members unanimously adopted it. Igwe while reacting debunked the allegations, claiming that: “Only the members’ imaginations played out the petty behaviour they accused me of.”
