Anambra lawmaker, Maureen Chinwe Gwacham has come under fire after a viral video of her seconding a motion she has no idea about.

In the viral clip from the Nigerian House of Representatives, the APGA lawmaker, who represents the Oyi/Ayamelum Federal Constituency, stood to support the motion as moved by a colleague during a plenary session. Moments later, the speaker was heard asking, “What motion is that?”, but Nigerians were left in shock when Honorable Maureen could not tell the motion.

“You called me to second a motion,” exposing that she had no idea what she was endorsing.

The roughly 25-second video has since sparked widespread outrage online. Social media users have described the moment as a glaring example of legislative unseriousness, with many questioning how lawmakers who “represent the people” can vote on issues without basic knowledge of them.

Gwacham is one of only 17 women elected to the 10th National Assembly of 469 members comprising the Senate and House of Representatives.

Who did we offend in this country?

“You called me to second a motion,” exposing that she had no idea what she was endorsing.

You called her to second a motion and you're asking her what motion is that?

Jokers on seat!

Don't use this sense to cross express road ooo.
You don't know the motion but you seconded it. What if the motion is to sell her village to Tinubu. Even you too? How can this country move forward with people like you. Never

She was ordered by the speaker to second the motion...she didn't stand up on her freewill.

But she should have an idea of the motion.

And they no go let us hear word,after they will be shouting tinubu…if the motion was to put the whole of her people for sale,that’s how she will just go ahead and second.

These people are just playing with the future of the country without knowing how sensitive their positions are. You are seconding a motion you don't know.

The damage done by one bad policy cannot be upturned by 20 years of fasting and prayers

The people she's representing love her like that. It's SW politicians that they detest. Abaribe de there since forever, nothing come out. When election comes now you'll see this woman talking about Nnamdi Kanu and Igbo presidency and before you know it. She's reelected.

How can someone call you to second motion, block heads everywhere in governance.

faht thing don chop her brain comot

APGA dey support tinubu, why she go Sabi the motion wey she dey support when she dey support emilokan

Fine face with empty brain.
How can someone support a motion just because someone asked them to, without knowing what the motion is about!!
Chai!!

I was a Speaker at UNI

This woman will not remain in my HOUSE

We're in a deep sh*t in this country following the kinds of nonentities representing and ruling us.

People that are only smart and intelligent when it comes to looting and dumb with their I don't care attitude when it comes to Nigeria project.

Olodos ruling Nigeria

Abi na mistake

Politics is an all comers affair sha

Why wouldn’t they shout Tinubu, since she is following his clueless balablu example

God abeg o.
You are supporting a motion you don't have an idea of.

Probably, she was on TikTok / Snapchat/Instagram/Twitter/WhatsApp and subconsciously overheard "Do we have anyone seconding the motion?"

Women and their fish brain

Over to governor amunike.

She’s obviously a comedian

If we are not also all olodos, then why are we allowing olodos to emerge from our midst into public office as lawmakers and LGA chairmen, governors and presidents

What do you expect and that’s why they planning to bring buhari son.

It is not only her. They are many of them even at the Senate who do not know exactly what the roles of lawmaker are. They are after sitting allowance and others.

Disaster!
No wonder trump upgraded it from shithole to disgraced country.

She is still better than the demented Peter Obi

Why is her own different

It's a common thing in on ya mandate people also ..let's start from there

Looks like the motion is about to ban new church buildings or so.

This is where we are at the moment.

What is her level of qualification?
You people always vote no certificate candidates

Thats like giving you a document to sign and you signed it, without knowing what inside

Your defence is i didnt not explain i want you to sign off your land to me .. Will court take that excuse

What an embarrassment. What a shame. What a disgrace. So this shows that they just go there to enjoy themselves. They have no business representing people there at the assemblies. The people of Oyi need to vote out such an incompetent lady. Painfully, constituents will collect pittances and continue living in bondage.
