In a bid to protect the dignity of the legislature and the
legislator, the Delta State House of Assembly today June 7th, 2016
suspended one of its members, Mr. Reuben Izeze representing Ughelli South for
three months for alleged conduct unbecoming of a law maker.

Majority Leader, Hon. Tim Owhefere had stood up to inform
the House of a matter which, he said, borders on the dignity of the
legislature. Pointing out that the Assembly is greatly concerned about
maintaining the dignity of the legislature and by implication that of the law
maker, he said “A situation in which lawmakers are called Honourable members
but we act in dishonourable manner leaves much to be desired.”
While not giving details of what constituted a dishonourable
behaviour involving Mr. Izeze, Owhefere said: “An attempt to bring the dignity
of this House to disrepute by Reuben Izeze, therefore, I move that this
honourable house do now suspend Hon. Reuben Izeze, representing Ughelli South
for three months.”
The motion was seconded by the Minority Leader, Hon. Okoh
Festus, (Ika South), and when the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Monday Igbuya put the
question the ayes had it and the Speaker declared that Reuben Izeze is hereby
suspended for three months with immediate effect.
