Lawmaker Suspended For Interrupting Ekiti Speaker

    The Ekiti Assembly House of Assembly on Tuesday suspended member of
    the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Segun Adewumi, representing
    Ekiti West constituency 1, for six weeks for alleged legislative
    misconduct.

    The suspension of the lawmaker was attributed to undue interruption
    of Speaker Adeniran Alagbada, while presiding over the House at the
    plenary on Tuesday.

    Following the verbal exchange, the Speaker was said to have exercised
    his powers and suspended him from plenary session in consonance with
    section 17 of the Assembly’s standing order.

    According to the speaker, the former Deputy Speaker during the period
    on suspension will be prevented from participating in any plenary
    session but could only involve in off- plenary activities of the house.
