GWG.ng reports that the Speaker of the House, Blessing Agbebaku, ordered the lawmaker who is representing Egor Constituency to leave the session following a point of order raised by Nicholas Asonsere, representing Ikpoba Okha Constituency.

In raising his point of order, Asonsere stated that the Deputy Majority Leader, Natasha Osawaru was dressed in a way that violated the House rules.

“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.

“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.

The Speaker, while instructing the Deputy Majority Leader, Natasha Osawaru to exit the chamber, clarified that the decision was based on House rules rather than his personal discretion.

“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,” he added.
