Delta State House of Assembly has suspended Hon. Matthew Omonade for 14 legislative days for gross misconduct.

Omonade who represents Ughelli North 1 Constituency is a strong loyalist of the 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta State.

The suspension order which was officially pronounced by the Speaker, Rt Hon Emomotimi Guwor during Tuesday’s plenary was preceded by a motion raised on the floor of the House by the Majority Leader, Hon Emeka Nwaobi, Aniocha North.

In the motion which was supported by the Chief Whip of the House, Hon. Perkins Umukoro, Sapele, and unanimously adopted by the House, the suspended lawmaker was alleged to have willfully and falsely perverted the proceedings of the House of Wednesday, May 8, 2024.

This, according to the Majority Leader, violates the standing order and rules of the House hence, the need for the suspension.
