Ebonyi State House of
Assembly sitting today was
engulfed by fear,
apprehension and tension as
the activities of the ongoing.
House was disrupted by smashing of windows of the
chamber and security
uneasiness outside as a result
of members trying to
forcefully enter the Chamber. Problems started when some
of the honourable members
that came late but could not
enter the normal door,
wanted to go gain entrance
through the window, resulting to the shattering of
the window glasses. As a result of this, political
thugs numbering over100
rounded up the honourable
members, beat them up and
breaking the head of the
House Leader, Hon.Samuel Nwali. It took the intervention of the
Ebonyi State Police
Commissioner to avert what
would have been a major
crisis in the state , by his men,
arresting the thugs and taken them to the Police Station for
further investigation. As the business of the House
continued,Chief Odefa Obasi
Odefa moved a motion on the
groundof matters of urgent
public importance, urging the
members to reject the purported removal or
retirement of the Clerk and
some members of the State
House of Assembly staff, as it
is contrary to the spirit of the
constitution which they swore to defend. He said “we have what is
called the Ebbonyi State
House of Assembly Law
passed in 2007 assented to by
Governor Martin Elechi which
states that the Clerk of the House, the Deputy Clerk can
only be removed by the State
House of Assembly
Commission acting on an
address supported by a simple
majority of the State House of Assembly for inability to
discharge his function due to
infirmity or misconduct” According to him, the Head of
Service has no legal authority
over the staff of the
Commission stressing that the
State House of Assembly will
not allow itself to be intimidated, blackmailed nor
tolerate executive
recklessness. He payed the House to uphold
that Mrs.Roseline Nwokporo
and other Staff of the
Commission purportedly
announced to have been
removed, such as, Mrs. Chinyere Nwaogbaga,Bened
ict Nwofeke,Mr.Frank
Ndukwe,the Sargent At Arms,
remains their staff. He said that the purported
removal or retirement of the
above staff and others
mentioned in the sack
announcement are doomed
and condemned to hell as it cannot stand. Odefa’s motion was
supported by Honourable
Joseph Nwaobashi, as the
Speaker,Rt.Honourable
Chukwuma Nwazunku put
the motion to vote, and it was unanimously adopted. The House also deliberated on
the qualification of the
Deputy Clerk Mrs.Chinyere
Acho and therein disqualified
her, for not meeting the
mandatory level 15 grade, as required by the 2007
Constitution taken cognisance
of the fact that she is
presently in level 12 grade The House explained that her
appointment in the first
instance was done in error. The House also deliberated on
the issue of 15 billion Naira
bond being sort by the State
Government to finish ongoing
projects in the state The motion for this purpose
was raised by Hon.Frank
Onwe who emphasised that
the issue of bound earlier
discussed be revisited again
due to lack of accountably noting that the idea of
collecting new bond by the
present administration whose
tenure is about to elapse is
uncalled for. Frank 0nwe’s motion was
supported by the Acting
Leader of the House, Hon.
Francis Ogbonnaya, who
called on those asking for
bound at this period, he described as 11th hour, to
desist as it is not possible to
complete the projects to
which the bound are tied to. The Speaker. Mr.Nwazunku
later put the motion to vote
and it was unanimously
adopted, adding that nobody
is getting any bound now as
there was no time. As result of the result of the
disturbances which had
effected the smooth
operation if the House
Hon.0basi put forth a motion
for extension of their colleagues to 14 days, for
their involvement in tensed
atmosphere during the sitting
and it supported by Hon
Valentine Okike,while the
Speaker put it to vote and it was adopted. In his reaction to what
transpired ,the Deputy
Speaker Chief Blaise Orji said
it was an open shame on the
part of the police by not
protecting one of their members beating up by the
thugs, a situation he
described as wearisome for
our democratic development. Speaking on the brutality at
the House,Hon.Eni Uduma
called for the intervention of
the Inspector General of the
Police warning that if the
police does not give adequate protection individual may be
forced to look for self help to
protect themselves from
harm. Addressing the Press on
tension in the
House,Mr.Nwazunku took
them to damaged portions of
the window warning that
people should be careful the way they behave because of
tomorrow. source EBONYI VOICE.

Not really happy though but we have been having this PEACEFUL state for a very long time and things are not moving well as we wanted,a certain guy called Chinedu Ogah will come and harass you the way he wanted and still get away with it.
Elechi is like a lord here and many people hate such...so let the political dogs bark for once so that if one eventually find him/herself there that people will surly sit up and face the business of the day.

Ofu onye anaghi akari oha.
