The order, which was officially pronounced by the Speaker, Hon Emomotimi Guwor was preceded by a motion raised on the floor of the House by the Majority Leader, Hon Emeka Nwaobi, Aniocha North.

In the motion which was supported by the Chief Whip of the House, Hon. Perkins Umukoro, Sapele State Constituency, and unanimously adopted by the House, alleged that the suspended lawmaker willfully and falsely perverted the proceedings of the House of Wednesday, May 8, 2024.

This, according to the Majority Leader, violates the standing order and rules of the House hence, the need for the suspension.

The motion entitled, “Motion Of Breach Of Privilege”, reads: Following the unanimous adoption of the motion, the Speaker pronounced a suspension order on the lawmaker spanning 14 legislative days.
