Gov. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State on Tuesday presented 2026 budget appropriation before the House of Assembly amid a mild drama.
The Suspended member of the House of Assembly, Mr Bernard Udemezue representing Ayamelum Constituency was seen inside the Legislative Chambers .
Drama however played out when the Deputy Speaker, Mr Chukwuma Okoye, and the Member representing Oyi Constituency, Mr Innocent Ojike approached the suspended Lawmaker and accompanied him out of the Chamber in company of security personnel.
The House leadership also went upstairs at the gallery and walked out all supporters of the lawmaker who had accompanied him to the plenary.
According to them, the Lawmaker did not follow due process after his three months suspension elapsed.
In defence, Udemezue claimed that he followed due process and had submitted necessary letters for resumption to the appropriate authorities before his appearance.
The Security operatives however insisted and walked him to the new Legislative building.
