Drama In Edo Plenary As Speaker Sends Out Hon. Natasha Over Use Of Dark Shade
The Deputy Majority Leader of the House of Assembly in Edo State, Natasha Osawaru on Wednesday was ordered out of plenary for dressing inappropriately and wearing of a dark shade.
Blessing Agbebaku, the speaker of the House told Natasha who is representing Egor Constituency to leave the session following a point of order raised by Nicholas Asonsere, representing Ikpoba Okha Constituency.
According to Asonsere, Hon. Natasha’s mode of dressing is against the rules of the House and has been tolerated for a while and has to stop.
“This hallowed chamber is a sacred home. We will not continue to accept or allow anybody to bring it to disrepute.
“We have tolerated enough of the attitude and behaviour of some honourable members so to speak, and if we did not correct this now, it would become a precedent for others to emulate, if not now, in the near future.
“Please, Mr Speaker if I have the permission, I want to crave the indulgence to read some rules of the House sections and subsections.
“We have our own Bible which is often referred to as the Rules of the Edo State House of Assembly upon this we are being guided.
“Any member that violate or contravene the rules is punishable by the law,” he said in his point of order.
The Speaker, however, ordered the Deputy Majority Leader to leave the chamber, stating that the action was not his own making but in accordance with the House rules.
Agbebaku noted, “improper dressing and wearing of dark shade is not allowed in this House. It is not me that said it but the House rules. So, please, let us always comply with these our rules,”.
