Anambra Assembly Reopens Amidst Tight Security by onubijoe(m): 4:27pm On Nov 29, 2018
The Anambra State House of Assembly on Thursday reopened for sitting after two weeks the Police Command in the state sealed the complex.



The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the assembly was shut down following purported impeachment of the Speaker, Mrs Rita Maduagwu that led to crisis in the legislature.

NAN reports that the workers in the assembly were seen in their duty posts for business of the day but the lawmakers had yet to sit as at the time of the report.

The embattled speaker, Maduagwu entered the chamber with only one lawmaker, Mr Paschal Agbodike, representing Ihiala 2Constituency APGA and left immediately.

About 10 minutes after, the purported new Speaker, Mr Ikem Uzoezie walked in with the Majority Leader, Mr Victor Okoye, Minority leader, Mr Onyebuchi Offor , Mr Kingsley Iruba, ( Nnewi South), Mr Ikechukwu Umeh, (Aguata 1), and Mr Romanus Obi (Orumba North).

Other lawmakers were also seated at the assembly waiting for resumption of plenary.



NAN reports that neither the Clerk of the assembly, Mr Pius Udoh nor his deputy, Mrs Ngozi Aneotoh was seen at the house.

Uzoezie told newsmen that he was at the complex to assess it after the police unsealed it adding that the lawmakers might sit if the need arose.

The factional speaker maintained that he was the substantive speaker as Maduagwu had been impeached over alleged highhandedness and misappropriation of funds.

NAN however, reports that there are heavy presence of security agents at the complex to maintain law and order.

Everything has scattered under Buhari. No order, no rule of Law. I weep for this country if Nigerians senselessly repeat their folly of 2015 in 2019 by voting Buhari again.

She was a very useless speaker. We now have a Speaker now in Ikem Uzoezie. She was disgraced today too.

I dont need to be in Nigeria to know that hardship is everywhere. I still have friends there. Moreso, an international body with the resources for extensive research concluded, based on evidence from research, that Nigeria is now the headquarter of poverty.
