Abia Assembly suspends leader of PDP caucus Akpulonu for 14 day

The member representing Obingwa East state constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly and leader of the PDP caucus, Solomon Akpulonu, has been suspended for 14 sitting days.

Making the pronouncement on the floor of the Abia State House of Assembly on Tuesday, the Speaker of the House, Emmanuel Emeruwa, said the 8th Abia House of Assembly cannot tolerate acts of insubordination, adding that Akpulonu has been inciting members of the House against the leadership of the 8th Assembly.

He pointed out that it was absolutely wrong for the lawmaker to be granting media interviews and revealing all the House has been doing without proper clearance from the leadership of the assembly, insisting that what is done in the House should remain in the House.
