Delta Assembly Suspends Another Lawmaker

The Delta House of Assembly has suspended another lawmaker, Mr Oboro Preyor (PDP-Bomadi), for alleged misconduct.

Preyor’s suspension was coming barely one week after Mr Chukudi Edafe, representing Ukwuani State Constituency, was suspended.

The Speaker, Mr Dennis Guwor, announced the suspension during the House plenary session in the assembly complex in Asaba.

The suspension order followed a motion moved under a matter of urgent public importance by the Majority Leader, Mr Emeka Nwaobi (PDP-Aniocha North).

The motion, which was unanimously adopted in a voice vote, was seconded by Mr Matthew Omonade (APC-Ughelli North I).

News Agency of Nigeria reports that following the adoption of the motion, Preyor, who is the Chairman, House Committee on Works and Special Projects, was suspended for 14 legislative days.

”In subsequent date, a committee will be set up to investigate the misconduct,” Guwor said.

He also directed the Sargent-at-Arm to lead the suspended lawmaker out of the main chamber of the Assembly complex.

The House also received a letter of notification by Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori to present the 2025 Appropriation Bill on Thursday.

It also received a bill to amend the Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro, to reflect a change of name to Southern Delta University, Ozoro.

The bill, which was conveyed in a letter by the governor, was read to the members by the speaker
