Sacked Akwa Ibom Lawmakers Hold Plenary, Install New Speaker by kahal29: 3:51am On Nov 20, 2018
As the events following the sack of five lawmakers in the Akwa-Ibom House of Assembly continue to unfold, some members have elected the member representing Essien Udim state constituency, Mr. Nse Ntuen as their new Speaker.

Speaking with journalists in Uyo on Monday evening, the factional Speaker, Nse Ntuen said that their decision to change the Speaker followed members’ lack of confidence in Mr. Onofiok Luke.

He described the process that led to their purported sack as illegal, null and void, as there were subsisting court orders, even as the House rules and procedures were not duly and legally followed.

“In the first place, no such action as declaring our seat vacant took place because there was no mace, the former Speaker did not follow due legislative procedure of being announced into the chamber by the Sergent at Arms rather he came in through the back door.

“What happened in the House today was a normal legislative thing. We were supposed to sit on Tuesday, but yesterday (Sunday) we got notices that the sitting had been rescheduled for today because of the public
holiday on Tuesday and nobody objected to that.

“Unfortunately this morning when I came to the house, the gate was barricaded and we were not allowed to go into the premises.

“Moreover, the purported action was not in the order paper for today’s plenary. The two items in the order paper were the consideration of the appropriation bill sent to the House by Governor Udom Emmanuel and a commemorative sitting for former Governor Victor Attah.

“So, in the light of these anomalies, members sat and elected me as the new Speaker. We will reconvene on Wednesday when other positions will be filled.

“This will not be the first time a minority member will be elected a head of a legislature. The Senate President of the Nigerian Senate is a minority member.” He explained.

Ntuen wondered why Mr. Luke would unilaterally declare their seat vacant when that of a member who defected to the PDP from APC last year was not given the same treatment.

“So, we elected a new Speaker because Luke is not good enough to be Speaker. He is incompetent and is being teleguided by the Executive against our quest to be independent and not to be labeled a rubber stamp Assembly.”

He called on the people of the state not to see their action as confrontational but that which would make the legislature stronger in the discharge of its responsibility to the people of Akwa Ibom State.

What evil did you bring upon yourself? The speaker just sacked 4 members because they decamped to another party. Is it proper? If proper Saraki amd co would have gone. The speaker invited trouble so he must face the trouble he invited.

LMAO! Nse Ntuen is an Akpabio boy who owes everything he owns to Akpabio. Some of the fights of Akpabio he took up in past had all nearly cost him his life. He should desist from pushing his luck any father.

These ones come online to justify their pay by spewing totally crappy lies thinking everyone reading them was born just yesterday.

According to them, it was under APC government that three members of Rivers State House of Assembly sacked their speaker.

It was under APC that sixteen was seen to be greater than nineteen in the governor's forum election.

It was under APC that a state commissioner of police hounded and harassed a sitting governor like some school principal.

It was under APC that the speaker of the National Assembly has his security withdrawn for decamping from pdp.

You guys should keep fooling yourselves with these nonsense. At least they generate some likes that would make your miserable lives appear to have some worth.

You think pdp is referred to as the CANKERWORM for nothing?

You think you know better than Ben Ayade who said pdp is a Demonic Party without a Conscience?

You think you know better than Azazi whom your killer party put to sleep in his twilight for saying pdp is a party of terrorists?

Over our dead bodies will that devil be allowed near Aso Rock again.

Now get the fvck out of my sight! angry
