3 Lawmakers Suspended (SEE WHY)

Kogi Assembly

Kogi State House of Assembly has suspended and barred three lawmakers from taking part in any activity of the house.

The suspended assemblymen; Ahmed Mohammed, Abdullahi Bello and Moses Ododo, were accused of “using the signatures of members earlier used to pass confidence votes on Gov. Yahaya Bello during his presidential aspiration for other purposes.

They have also been stripped of their positions in house committees pending the investigation of an alleged “forgery’’ against them by the house.

During its plenary on Tuesday, presided by the Speaker, Matthew Kolawole, the House said the three suspended members were found guilty of “gross misconduct”.

“On Friday, we were taken aback when the suspended colleagues fraudulently used our signatures in their purported impeachment notice on our speaker.

“We had held a meeting as a house in Abuja, where we unanimously agreed to support the presidential aspiration of Bello, with the former deputy speaker, majority leader and deputy chief whip as the communique drafting committee members

“We didn’t know that they will use the signatures as a tool for impeachment as demonstrated by them on June 17’’.
