•As court injunction stops five lawmakers




THE Anambra State House of Assembly has elected another female legislator from Ogbaru II State Constituency Princess Chinwe Nwebili as its Speaker.

Princess Claire succeeds Anayo Nebe.

The fifth session of the 30- membe members from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Accord Party (AP) and Labour Party (LP).

APGA, which produced the Speaker yesterday in a unanimous vote, has 16 members.

However, only 25 of the 30 members were sworn in yesterday.Some former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers went to court to stop the swearing in of some of the new members.

There was heavy deployment of security operatives in the Assembly complex. About 300 operatives were scrutinising guests and the legislators.

Acting Clerk of the House, Pius Udoh, said only 25 lawmakers would be sworn in because of a subsisting court order restraining the Clerk from swearing in some of them.

The new Speaker was nominated by Chugbo Enwezor (Onitsha North I Constituency) while her deputy, Prince Chukwudi Orizu (Nnewi North), was nominated by Nicky Ugochukwu (Orumba South).

Princess Nwebili thanked the members and promised to have a cordial working relationship with Governor Peter Obi administration.

Obi urged the House to make quality laws that would facilitate the development of the state.
