Asaba \u2013 THERE was drama, Thursday, at the sitting of the Delta State House of Assembly, following the insistence by a member that he be allowed to formally present a commissioner-nominee who hails from his constituency as was the practice in the House.<\/p>\n

Princess Pat Ajudua from Oshimili North Local Government Area of the state was called out for screening and the Speaker, Mr. Victor Ochei, asked her to identify herself.<\/p>\n

Member representing Oshimili North constituency in the Assembly, Mr. Ken Mozia, quickly raised a point of observation, after the woman made introductory remarks. Mozia said: \u201cMr. Speaker, It is unparliamentary and untraditional to be denied the privilege and honour to present the Commissioner-nominee from my council. I don\u2019t think it is proper to shave a man\u2019s head in his absence.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, the Speaker said: \u201cMember representing Oshimili North, by the grace of God, I am the Speaker and rule from the chair.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rules were handed to me for interpretation. I have not finished and you are castigating me.<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Pat Ajudua, the immediate past Minority Leader of this House, because you served this House meritoriously, take a bow and go.\u201dby austin ogwuda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
