Lawmakers Burst Into Laughter At Delta House Of Assembly As Nominee Introduces Himself Wrongfully – Naijanewsdirect

A mild drama ensued at the Delta State House of Assembly Asaba when a Commissioner from Isoko North, Jonathan Ukodhiko was asked by the Speaker, Sheriff Oborivwori to introduce himself, during the screening the state commissioner nominees.

While introducing himself, Ukodhiko started by saying “My names are”, but was immediately interrupted and faulted by the Speaker.

Immediately, he was directed to introduce himself one more time before the House.

 

Already he was visibly tensed up, Ukodhiko started again by saying, “My names are”, and again, the Speaker interjected immediately the a second time and asked him to start again.

 

For the third time, the nominee again repeated, “My names are”, but at this time, the Speaker corrected Ukodhiko and told him, “You can’t say my names are, it is very wrong, that’s not a good way of introducing yourself. Correct yourself and say my name is.”

Ukodhiko for the fourth time of the introduction corrected himself and said, “My name is,” and the House burst into laughter.

 

On the other hand, there was yet another mild drama when the member representing Ughelli South constituency, Rueben Izeze, drew the attention of the House to the credentials submitted by a nominee, who is the immediate past Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Julius Egbedi.

The documents has no tax clearance certificate attached to it.

But Izeze noted that for anyone to be appointed into such an office which Egbedi was being screened, must possess a tax clearance certificate.

The Speaker, Oborivwori, at that juncture appealed to Izeze to calm down and then overruled his position, while he also asked the embattled nominee and others to take a bow and go.

Recall that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa had last week sent the following names to the state House of Assembly as Commissioner nominees for screening and confirmation: Charles Aniagwu, Barry Gbe, Julius Egbedi, Ifeanyi Egwuyenga, Arthur Akpowowo.

 

Others are; Festus Ochonogor, Flora Alanta, Churchill Amagada, Jonathan Ukodhiko, Evelyn Oboro, Noel Omordon, Fidelis Tilije, Rose Esewu, Lawrence Ejiofor, Shola Ogbemi-Daibo, Chris Onogba, Kate Oniawan and Johnbull Edema.
