ABAKALIKI-Ebonyi State House of Assembly, yesterday,\u00a0 dropped a commissioner-nominee, Mr. Jonah Egba, for failing to recite the National Anthem and Pledge at a screening in the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The House, however, screened 27 other nominees.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Egba, a former Commissioner for Lands, Survey and Housing, was also disqualified for\u00a0 inability to provide the original certificates of his Post-graduate Diploma and Master\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The former commissioner, who was asked to recite the National Anthem and Pledge,<\/p>\n

Consequently, the\u00a0 Majority Leader, Sam Nwali, (Ikwo East Constituency), moved a motion that the nominee be dismissed and confirmation withheld until he was able to furnish the House with the originals of his certificates and recite the anthem.<\/p>\n

Attempts by Mrs. Mabel Aleke, (Ohaukwu South), to arm-twist the House to reconsider the motion did not sail through. When Princess Lilian Igwe (Ivo Constituency), seconded the motion, the matter was unanimously laid to rest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
